reporting period we identified a total of 95 high-risk vulnerabilities 569 medium-risk vulnerabilities and 635 low-risk
vulnerabilities.Hoshine Silicon's Information Security Protection Measure
The Company attaches great importance to and is committed to continuously cultivating employees' awareness of information
security. Through regular holding of information security training and information security publicity and education employees are
encouraged to actively identify and prevent potential information security risks and continuously strengthen the cultivation of all
employees' awareness and capabilities of information security protection.Hoshine Silicon Information Security Experience Zone
During the National Cybersecurity Week from September 9 to 15 2024 Hoshine Silicon actively responded and deeply
participated in the event. We have specially set up an information security experience zone allowing employees to
experience various security threat scenarios immersively such as simulated hacker attacks and handling of data leakage
crises. Through these highly interactive and practical drills employees can intuitively feel the importance of information
security and learn how to effectively identify and respond to potential risks in their daily work strengthening employees'
awareness of information security.Hoshine Silicon Cybersecurity Training
In order to enable employees to better use security tools such as firewalls intrusion detection systems and anti-virus
software and to learn to actively use vulnerability scanning tools to promptly detect and fix system vulnerabilities we
have carried out cybersecurity training for employees. The training content includes the basic concepts of information
security common threats and security protection measures. By explaining national and local information security laws and
regulations as well as the Company's internal information security policies and processes the training enables employees
to be aware of the correct handling procedures for information security incidents and standardizes the Company's
information security management.
