VietNamNet Bridge - Cybersecurity solution providers are mostly targeting large corporations, ignoring small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), which are also facing security problems. Cybersecurity solution providers mostly target large corporations Tran Quang Chien, CEO of CyStack, said the cyber security solution market in Vietnam has great potential to develop. The problem is that SMEs cannot find solutions that fit their operation scale and financial capability. The best known cybersecurity solution providers such as BKAV and CMC target mostly large clients.

Growth has also been inclusive, with poverty falling to just below 7 per cent, compared to more than 60 per cent in the late 1980s. But Vietnam’s journey to become a modern, industrial economy has only just begun, and past achievements are no guarantee for future success.
