CHT Security Reports Record Revenues and Profits with H1 EPS of NT$6.16; Launches AI Archway to Address Enterprise AI Governance Demand

CHT Security (TWSE: 7765) today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half of 2026. Consolidated revenue for June reached NT$188 million, a 26% increase month-over-month and a 6% increase year-over-year. Cumulative revenue for the first half of the year was NT$1.182 billion, a 21% increase year-over-year, with cumulative net profit after tax of NT$251 million, a 13% increase year-over-year, and EPS of NT$6.16.

In addition to steady growth in recurring revenue streams, such as network security and Security Operations Center (SOC) monitoring services, performance was primarily driven by the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. As enterprises place greater emphasis on exposure management, demand for cybersecurity assessment services, including penetration testing and red team exercises, has surged. Furthermore, recognizing the rising enterprise focus on AI governance, CHT Security strategically launched "AI Archway" to address the mandatory requirements of corporate AI administration and risk management, driving both revenue and profitability to record high levels for the period.

CHT Security highlighted that many advanced AI models now possess autonomous vulnerability discovery and exploitation capabilities, enabling them to execute automated attacks. This reality forces enterprises to accelerate vulnerability exposure management. To preempt malicious threat actors, businesses are proactively retaining professional cybersecurity firms to uncover vulnerabilities and remediate security gaps, triggering substantial growth in demand for penetration testing and red team services.

With the widespread adoption of AI technologies and applications across industries, AI governance has become a paramount executive agenda. In response, CHT Security introduced its self-developed governance platform, "AI Archway." Operating via browser extensions or endpoint agents combined with an AI security gateway, the system establishes a robust AI governance framework that prevents sensitive data exfiltration.

The platform supports data tokenization (anonymization) before sending requests to external public AI services, and seamlessly performs “detokenization” upon receiving responses to restore original business workflows. Additionally, AI Archway acts as a real-time guardrail by filtering harmful responses generated by external LLMs, enforcing token usage quotas, and preventing prompt injections or jailbreak bypasses. Through an intuitive management dashboard, enterprises can continuously monitor regulatory compliance and evaluate operational risks associated with AI deployment.

Jeff Hung, General Manager of CHT Security, stated, "AI Archway functions much like an airport security checkpoint system. It encourages people to travel abroad freely, but ensures prohibited items are restricted during departure and agricultural or biosecurity hazards are intercepted upon arrival. Only with such an effective management architecture can enterprises achieve both operational efficiency and robust security. Our objective with AI Archway is to enable safe AI adoption by empowering organizations with four core capabilities: Visibility, Defensibility, Contextual Awareness, and Governability."

Via the dashboard, organizations can gain complete insight into corporate AI usage patterns and detect unauthorized Shadow AI risks. The platform supports major AI platforms, ensuring that employees view unmasked original content while external AI models process masked tokens, balancing productivity with data privacy. It also employs customized Data Loss Prevention (DLP) models trained on enterprise-specific confidential data to identify trade secrets, manufacturing processes, proprietary formulas, and legal contracts—catering to demanding sectors including finance, healthcare, government, semiconductor, and high-tech industries. By aligning decision-making and auditing workflows with regulatory frameworks such as GDPR and the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), the system automatically generates compliance and risk assessment reports to help enterprises enforce AI governance.

Directly addressing the inelastic demand for AI governance, CHT Security expects AI Archway alongside its specialized AI cybersecurity solutions to inject sustained growth momentum into company operations moving forward.
