PRESS RELEASE 

Re: Organization of BSides Hanoi 2025 – AI Hack You  

Leading up to the Signing Ceremony of the United Nations Convention (Hanoi Convention) 

 

BSides Hanoi 2025 – “AI Hack You” is a non-profit international cybersecurity event that will be held for the first time in Vietnam, as part of a series of activities leading up to the Signing Ceremony of the Hanoi Convention – the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime (scheduled to take place in Hanoi on October 25–26, 2025). 

The event is organized by The Vietnam Cybersecurity Network J.S.C (VSEC) and co-hosted by the National Cybersecurity Association (NCA) and the Vietnam Internet Association (VIA), with the participation of several companion organizations. 

BSides is a globally recognized community-driven series of cybersecurity conferences, first held in 2009 in Las Vegas. It has since become a trusted platform for sharing practical, high-value insights within the cybersecurity community. BSides values diverse approaches to security, encourages learning, and amplifies emerging voices in the field. 

The content of the conference is curated by an independent technical program committee comprised of experienced experts, entirely separate from sponsorship activities, ensuring academic integrity and impartiality. Only technically in-depth, original presentations with practical relevance and community value are selected to appear on the main stage. 

BSides events have been held in major cities around the world. In Vietnam, BSides Hanoi 2025 is the first cybersecurity conference in Vietnam that adheres to the principles of the global BSides community and will take place in Hanoi. 

The principles of Bsides include: 

  • High quality and objectivity in content selection, conducted by an independent program committee consisting of reputable cybersecurity professionals from both Vietnam and abroad. 
  • The sponsor participates but does not influence the program’s content. 
  • All operating processes are transparent and fair. 

In that spirit, BSides Hanoi 2025 encourages open discussion, constructive challenge, and the sharing of failures – often overlooked at commercial conferences. 

Bsides Hanoi 2025 – “AI Hack You” explores the transformative intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The conference will examine how AI is becoming both powerful weapons and shields in the digital landscape. BSides Hanoi 2025 will bring together engineers, researchers, and cybersecurity professionals to exchange insights on AI-driven threats, advanced detection and defense techniques, and strategic and ethical considerations shaping the future of cybersecurity.
