Taiwan-based cybersecurity firm CyCraft has listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Innovation Board, becoming the country’s first publicly traded company positioned entirely around AI-native cybersecurity.
The listing marks a significant step for Taiwan’s domestic cyber industry as it looks to translate locally developed defensive capabilities into global markets. CyCraft operates in an environment shaped by sustained and sophisticated cyber activity targeting government, financial institutions, semiconductor supply chains and critical infrastructure — conditions that have influenced both its technical focus and operational maturity.
Rather than centring on experimental or lab-based AI applications, CyCraft’s platform has been developed through live operational deployments across Asia-Pacific. The company argues that this exposure has shaped its emphasis on early warning, automation at machine speed and systems designed to operate with minimal configuration under real-world conditions.
The broader context is an industry grappling with the implications of generative AI. While many software categories face rapid commoditisation, cybersecurity remains constrained by requirements that are difficult to synthesise, including adversarial data, low-latency response, regulatory trust and continuous adaptation to evolving attack techniques. In this environment, AI is increasingly viewed as an amplifier of experienced defenders rather than a replacement for them.
CyCraft’s operations are structured around three primary areas. Its enterprise cyber resilience platform is deployed across hundreds of government agencies, financial institutions and semiconductor organisations, using a large sensor footprint to identify exposure, simulate attack paths and automate response activities. This reflects a broader industry shift from reactive detection toward preemptive risk management.
The company has also expanded into security for AI systems themselves, addressing emerging risks associated with large language models and autonomous agents. This includes mechanisms intended to detect prompt injection, misuse and data leakage in real time, alongside automated red-teaming tools designed to test AI deployments at scale.
A third area of focus is unmanned systems security, where CyCraft has developed software-based cyber protection for autonomous aerial, maritime and ground platforms. These capabilities are positioned around detection, disruption and resilience for systems increasingly integrated into defence and critical infrastructure environments.
CyCraft’s profile has been shaped in part by external validation, including participation in MITRE ATT&CK evaluations and inclusion in multiple Gartner research reports. In recent years, the company has also supported incident response and forensic investigations linked to regulatory and insurance requirements in regional markets.
Chairman Benson Wu said the listing is intended to accelerate international expansion, with the company targeting a majority of revenue from overseas markets by the end of the decade.
The move reflects a wider trend across Asia, where cybersecurity firms with experience in high-threat domestic environments are seeking public market backing to compete internationally, particularly as AI-driven security capabilities move from experimentation into operational necessity.
