Recommendation of information sharing and analysis center

Abstract

The announcement made by The Executive Yuan at September 10, 2002 about Chinese hacker invasion and implanting the Trojan program and collecting information from November 2001 to July 2002 disclosed once more the fact that our national information security mechanism is still insufficient. Based on this fact, we firstly take a simple insight of the present situation of hacker invasion and communication monitoring system, and discuss the penetration testing instructions made by Premier Yu, and then, referring to the implementation by western countries of building up "Information Sharing and Analysis Centers" (ISAC) to deal with information security threats such as the "Chinese hacker invasion" event, we will expound the issue. Moreover, we are also studying the necessary steps of the planning and implementation of the defensive mechanism for Information and Communication security, which is crucial to our National Information and Communicative Initiative (NICI).
