TeamT5 and TWNIC Sign MOU to Strengthen Threat Intelligence Sharing and Cybersecurity Resilience in Taiwan

TeamT5, a cybersecurity company specializing in cyber threat research and intelligence analysis, and the Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC) announced today that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Under the MOU, the two organizations will establish a threat intelligence sharing framework, integrate complementary resources and deepen collaboration to strengthen Taiwan’s overall cybersecurity resilience and support the development of the cybersecurity industry.

The collaboration will cover intelligence exchange and joint research. TeamT5 will contribute expertise in advanced persistent threat (APT) research, including indicators of compromise (IOCs) and technical analysis of cybercrime activities. TWNIC will contribute DNS resolution-related data and anonymized datasets collected through honeypot mechanism, in accordance with applicable privacy, security, and internal governance requirement. Through high-quality intelligence sharing, both organizations aim to identify potential risks earlier and strengthen early warning and incident response capabilities.

TeamT5 has long been dedicated to cybersecurity threat research in the Asia-Pacific region, with extensive experience in APT intelligence and malware analysis. TWNIC, as Taiwan’s national network information center and a key operator within Taiwan’s Internet infrastructure, TWNIC plays a critical role in domain name management and internet governance. By combining their respective strengths, this partnership is expected to further enhance Taiwan’s participation, visibility, and contribution within the global cybersecurity community.

Sung-ting Tsai, Chief Executive Officer of TeamT5, said: “As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and persistent, no single organization can address them alone. Through our collaboration with TWNIC, we aim to establish a more robust intelligence exchange mechanism, transform research insights into actionable defense capabilities and help a more resilient cybersecurity environment for Taiwan. We also see this partnership as an opportunity to reinforce TeamT5’s role as a leading threat intelligence provider in the Asia-Pacific region and to expand our contribution tothe global cybersecurity landscape.”

Jo-Fan Yu, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of TWNIC, said: “As cyber threats continue to evolve, TWNIC, as a critical part of Taiwan’s Internet infrastructure, remains committed to strengthening DNS protection and advancing the collection, analysis, and application of threat intelligence. This collaboration with TeamT5 will broaden our intelligence sources and analytical depth, enabling more effective integration and use of information to detect and respond to malicious activities, and ultimately strengthen Taiwan’s overall cybersecurity resilience.”

Looking ahead, TWNIC will continue to serve as a bridge connecting domestic and international cybersecurity communities, promoting collaboration and exchange to build a more stable and trustworthy internet environment for Taiwan. The two organizations will also explore additional areas of cooperation, including cybersecurity research and technical exchange, to support the long-term development of Taiwan’s cybersecurity ecosystem.
