Enter the digital era, the top concern of businesses is information security. It could be said that security assessment is the top priority that every business that wants to undergo digital transformation needs to do, especially in industries with high-value industries, with exceptional growth rates and a large volume of customer data. Typically businesses in the following 4 areas:

1. Finance – Banking sector

In 2020, up to 23% of attacks  around the world targeted organizations in the Finance and Banking sector (up 6% compared to NTT’s statistics in 2018). These organizations tend to grow rapidly. However, the investment to ensure the safety of the system as well as the IT applications has not been commensurate with this growth rate. Particularly the Fintech sector, which is experiencing exceptional growth, possesses a large amount of customer data. Being hacked will seriously affect the image and brand of organizations and businesses, an important factor in financial business.

2. Energy – Manufacture

Nearly 50% of attacks in 2020 involved seizing control of industrial operational technology (OT) systems in the energy and industrial manufacturing sectors. Ensuring energy security is always a key requirement of any national regime. Attacks on these units’ IT systems could lead to national security instability due to interruptions in the country’s energy supply.

3. State organization sector

This sector has a high rate of technology updates and owns a variety of equipment and diverse application functions. Moreover, the volume of customer data stored and circulated in this sector is significant. It’s the target that most hackers aim for, exploiting data for dissemination, business purposes, affecting the economy and the business’s brand image.

4. Trade – Service sector

With the robust demand for digital transformation in Vietnam, government agencies are gradually shifting to the digital government model – e-government. This is the target of attackers seeking to exploit sensitive information, modify or post malicious content, paralyze public services, cause economic damage, and affect national political and security concerns.
