Our Security Journey

Building Taiwan's cybersecurity expertise through hands-on education and real-world firewall management training since 2019

Where Innovation Meets Protection

MaxonFlow started when we noticed something troubling in Taiwan's tech landscape. Companies were deploying advanced systems but struggling with basic security fundamentals. Firewalls were misconfigured, networks were vulnerable, and IT teams lacked practical training.

We decided to change that narrative. Instead of another theoretical cybersecurity program, we built something different — education rooted in real scenarios that Taiwan's businesses actually face every day.

Our approach combines deep technical knowledge with practical application. Students don't just learn about network security; they configure actual firewalls, respond to simulated attacks, and master the tools that protect modern enterprises.

Foundation & First Steps

Started as a security consultancy helping Hsinchu tech companies secure their networks. We quickly realized the gap wasn't just in tools — it was in knowledge and practical skills.

2021

Educational Pivot

Launched our first firewall management certification program. Partnered with local tech companies to provide hands-on training that addressed real security challenges they faced daily.

2023

Program Expansion

Expanded to comprehensive cybersecurity curriculum covering incident response, threat analysis, and advanced network protection. Over 500 professionals trained across Taiwan's technology sector.

2024

Industry Recognition

Became preferred training partner for major Taiwanese technology companies. Developed specialized programs for semiconductor and manufacturing security requirements.

What Drives Us

Our core principles shape everything we do — from curriculum design to student mentorship

Practical Security

We focus on security challenges you'll actually encounter. Our labs simulate real network environments where students configure firewalls, analyze threats, and respond to incidents.

Industry Alignment

Every module connects directly to current market needs. We work closely with Taiwan's tech sector to ensure our graduates have skills companies actively seek.

Continuous Evolution

Cybersecurity never stands still, and neither do we. Our curriculum updates quarterly to address emerging threats and new security technologies.
