Core Value
The "T5" of TeamT5 stands for 5 English letters after the T of Taiwan. It also symbolizes that this Team is formed by 5 founders. We firmly believe in the possibility that the team can create greater value together.
We call ourselves Persistent Cyber Threat Hunter. Under the vast threat intelligence network, we will not let any hacker threats pass through us.
This concept is concretized as we use the spider web as our logo. We do intelligence research and hunt threats. The diamond that exists in the middle symbolizes Diamond Model - a model often used to describe cyber attacks in threat intelligence research. The Diamond Model includes Adversary, Capability, Infrastructure, and Victim, which are all TeamT5’s research areas.
Today is an era when cybersecurity protection is valued by the public. As cybersecurity attacks & defenses come from the same root, we gather top technical talents with various skills to provide best service for our clients.
