CHT Security is the cybersecurity subsidiary of Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan’s largest telecommunications provider, founded in 2017 and based in Taipei. It provides managed security services, a 24/7 security operations center, managed detection and response, and cloud security services.
Its SOC lineage traces to the HiNet SOC established in 2003 for security outsourcing. Frost & Sullivan has named it Taiwan Company of the Year in cybersecurity services in multiple years, most recently in 2026, citing AI-enabled security operations and managed services.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Merges its SOC with MDR and has added AI-enabled security operations, per Frost & Sullivan commentary; innovation is incremental on an established SOC base.
Operates managed security, SOC and MDR services for Taiwanese enterprises and government, building on a HiNet SOC established in 2003.
Backed by Taiwan's largest telecom, and Frost & Sullivan named it Taiwan Company of the Year in cybersecurity services repeatedly from 2021 through 2026.
Integrating SOC and MDR is a consolidation of services rather than a new approach to the problem.
Repeated analyst recognition and a two-decade SOC lineage suggest operational delivery, though detailed incident evidence is not public.
Telecom-backed managed security with AI-assisted operations should stay relevant as Taiwanese regulation and threat pressure grow.
Why CISOs Should Care
A telecom-backed local MSSP gives Taiwanese enterprises and public bodies in-country SOC and MDR coverage with network-level visibility.
What Makes It Different
Its position inside a national carrier gives it long-running SOC operational history and integrated network telemetry that independent MSSPs lack.
The Matrix Verdict
63/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
CHT Security is an Incremental Innovator at the upper end of the tier, scoring on strong independent analyst validation and a mature SOC base rather than disruption. Evidence of named incident outcomes is limited.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
The claim that it is Taiwan's only MSSP integrating SOC and MDR is company marketing; the Frost & Sullivan awards are independent analyst recognition.
