The low profile of APTs makes them difficult to detect. The Taiwanese government has been at risk for APTs for many years. In addition to examining potential threat documents, we also continuously study how the exploits work to determine if they're no or even zero-day attacks. It is a great honor for me to be recognized as a showcased honoree for the 2013 (ISC)2 Asia-Pacific ISLA program. This honor belongs to my team as well.

We had to make sure that the capability and capacity to conduct the assessment was sufficient and then carried out the actual security assessments.
