TSMC is committed to implementing the Information Security Declaration and promoting supply chain information security management in four major areas including establishing regulations, developing evaluation mechanisms, establishing diverse promotion and training mechanisms, and risk management. In order to further enhance its cybersecurity management practices, in June 2024, TSMC organized its first Supply Chain Security Workshop with the theme of Strengthening Supply Chain Information Security Management Practices. During the workshop, TSMC shared its experiences in implementing ten key information security control measures and invited the National Security Council and the National Institute of Cyber Security to analyze global cybersecurity threat trends and response strategies. Over 800 participants from 486 important suppliers attended the workshop. According to 457 post-event feedback questionnaires, the overall satisfaction of suppliers reached 98%, with 95% acknowledging that experiences sharing helps to optimize cybersecurity management and build a more resilient semiconductor supply chain.

As an integral link in the semiconductor supply chain, TSMC prudently addresses cybersecurity development trends and strengthens its protective mechanisms. The Company recently hosted its inaugural Supply Chain Security Workshop to share practical experiences, collaborate with suppliers to enhance defense resilience, safeguard market competitiveness, and protect the interests of customers and partners.
