cycles: planning management, investment and lending,
operations, procurement, salaries, assets, accounting,
and service management. TaiwanICDF senior executives
and directors of departments and offices first conduct self-
assessments of the effectiveness and reliability of their
operations. The Auditing Office then reviews these results
and presents them to the Board of Directors in order to
maintain sustainable effectiveness in the planning and
implementation of the internal control system.
ICT: Digitizing Our Organization
The objective of setting up and planning an information
service is to support the development of operations,
reduce operational costs and manage operational risks. To
ensure that this service can keep apace with the times in
quality, the main IT projects for 2015 were as follows.
Development of operations
I n keep i ng wi t h t he med i um- t erm p l ann i ng
and recommendations of TaiwanICDF core ICT
development projects, we formulated standards for
the development of mobile tools, created an electronic
form (e-form) E-Form version 2.0, introduced the
latest information technologies, and unified services
with common features. In addition, we continued to
upgrade the cloud-based email system to increase
speed and stability and effectively overcome browser
compatibility issues.
Raising Efficiency
In response to extensive changes in ICT system
storage data capacity and format, and taking into account
file transmission and response speed, we specifically
upgraded our system with high-speed network storage
devices – Storage Area Network (SAN) and Network
Attached Storage (NAS). Applying data downloading
will expand the virtual environment of the server room
and capacity for storing files, thereby maintaining stable
operation of our ICT systems. Also, we expanded virtual
computers to 50 units to increase device management
efficiency and extend service life.
Information Security
To improve information security, we drafted measures
based on two aspects: location and time. In terms of
location, we extended the existing network information
security from the TaiwanICDF local headquarters to
areas where users of TaiwanICDF information services
are present. At the same time, we responded to remote
connection needs by introducing the One Time Password
(OTP) system to ensure information security. In terms of
time, we set up a long-term monitoring system such as
the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) defense system, to
lower the risk of security breaches.
With the rapid and increasingly diversified development
of TaiwanICDF operations, the scope involved and
challenges facing IT services have greatly increased as
well. In the future, we will continue to improve and refine
our IT systems, integrating the use of new technologies
and maximizing the efficiency of our IT services.
