To strengthen colleagues’ cybersecurity awareness and to comply with the requirements of the “Cyber Security Management Act” and relevant regulations’ standards for general cybersecurity education and training hours, as well as concerning the responsibilities of government agencies, this Office organized the “2025 Cybersecurity Education and Training” on July 23, 2025. The training program comprised two major sessions, which were “Safe Internet Usage Management” and “Practical Social Engineering Defense”. Through these courses, colleagues were provided with a multi-faceted understanding of current cybersecurity threats as well as being guided in enhancing their capability to prevent and mitigate potential risks.
The course “Safe Internet Usage Management” covered phishing websites, spoofed web pages, ransomware, and other forms of online fraud through introductions and case analyses. It revealed how hackers exploited URL obfuscation, email phishing, social media advertisements, and other methods of social engineering by examining real news incidents and common attack techniques. Such course further taught practical measures to strengthen personal data in cyber security by verifying URLs, enabling two-factor authentication, configuring browser settings, and regularly clearing cookies.
The course “Practical Social Engineering Defense” provided a comprehensive examination of social engineering methodologies, including data collection, trust establishment, psychological manipulation, and the acquisition of sensitive data. By analyzing real-life cases, such as telephone fraud, executive impersonation through email, and social media deception, colleagues were guided to recognize common fraud schemes. Furthermore, the training underscored that human factors represented the most vulnerable element in the cybersecurity defense chain. Colleagues were reminded to exercise caution and adopt a critical mindset when confronted with sensitive instructions purportedly issued by government officials or senior management, and to proactively verify their authenticity, thereby reducing the risk of serving as a point of compromise for malicious actors.
In addition to meeting the statutory requirements for training hours, this program was designed to provide substantial practical applicability. The course materials were presented in a clear and structured manner, reinforced with concrete case studies and operational guidelines, thereby assisting colleagues in building sound information security practices in the performance of their official duties. This Office will henceforth continue to advance a variety of cybersecurity education initiatives and simulation exercises to enhance colleague awareness, strengthen sensitivity and responsiveness to security-related issues, as well as elevating the overall standard of cybersecurity mindfulness.
