Taipei, Nov. 4 (CNA) The first-ever international cyber exercises co-hosted by the United States and Taiwan that opened Monday hope to combat the growing number of global cyberattacks, especially those from North Korea and China.

Speaking at Monday's opening ceremony, American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Acting Director Raymond Greene said the exercises are aimed at strengthening domestic cyber defenses and related skills and promoting closer international cooperation on cybersecurity.

"Ultimately, the success of this week will be measured by whether all of you remain in close contact with each other after the exercises are over," said Greene of the exercises, known formally as the U.S.-Taiwan Cyber Offensive and Defensive Exercises (CODE).

One form of future cooperation, Greene said, may be to bring Taiwan into the Department of Homeland Security's Automated Indicator Sharing system, which shares cyber threat indicators at machine speed.    [FULL  STORY]
