Supporting Taiwan’s Cyber Security Management Act (CSMA) for Data Centres

The stability and economic resilience of Taiwan rely fundamentally on the uninterrupted operation of its digital infrastructure, with data centres serving as the backbone for finance, high-tech manufacturing, and government services. As these essential facilities undergo rapid digital transformation, integrating legacy Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) with modern IT networks, they face an exponentially larger and more complex cyber-physical attack surface.

This growing risk necessitates a robust, mandatory regulatory framework. To address this, the Taiwan government established the Cyber Security Management Act (CSMA), creating comprehensive cybersecurity requirements for operators managing these vital systems. The Act mandates proactive security measures, from comprehensive asset identification and continuous monitoring to rigorous auditing and rapid incident response, to safeguard Taiwan’s critical stability and prosperity.

Meeting the stringent and multifaceted requirements of the Taiwan CSMA presents a significant compliance and operational challenge for data centre operators. Claroty directly addresses this challenge by providing integrated, deep visibility and secure access capabilities tailored for cyber-physical systems (CPS).
