Government digital-transformation agenda accelerating security spend
The National Digital Transformation Programme earmarks USD 100 million for cybersecurity and requires every public service to reach level-4 online maturity by 2025 [1]Ministry of Information and Communications, “Digital Transformation Programme Update 2025,” mic.gov.vn. Southern Power Corporation’s near-total shift to electronic contracts 5.6 million executed by December 2024—shows how public-sector adoption forces suppliers to meet the same security standards[2]EVN Southern Power Corp., “E-Contract Transformation Report,” evn.com.vn. Eight “Make in Vietnam” SOC platforms certified in 2023 further localize expertise and funding, ensuring domestic vendors secure a preferential foothold when public agencies procure security technology. Each government deployment creates a signaling effect that nudges private firms to match baseline controls, amplifying market demand.
Cashless-payment boom raising BFSI attack surface
Biometric verification became compulsory for transactions above VND 10 million in July 2024, yet fraud rings manipulated photo-based bypasses to siphon over VND 1,000 billion from multiple banks, underscoring gaps in facial-recognition accuracy. Vietcombank’s AI-enabled anti-fraud engine stopped 40,000 suspicious transfers worth VND 160 billion within one month, demonstrating tangible returns on real-time threat analytics. Consequently, BFSI institutions channel higher budgets toward continuous authentication, behavioral analytics and transaction-monitoring suites, widening the Vietnam cybersecurity market.
SME cloud-migration wave post-2023
VNPT’s OneSME.vn platform onboarded almost 160,000 SMEs and processed VND 600 billion in transactions during 2024. Yet 60% of organizations still lack a clear cloud-security roadmap, allowing personal-data breaches against small firms to climb 50% year-on-year. Hybrid-cloud security architectures that fuse compliance tooling with cost-efficient SaaS thus resonate strongly with resource-constrained enterprises.
Mandatory compliance with Cybersecurity Law & Decree 53/2022
Foreign digital-service providers must localize user data for at least 24 months and establish on-shore offices within 12 months of notification. Personal Data Protection Decree 13/2023 deepens obligations by mandating Data Protection Officers and impact assessments. Multinationals now accelerate investments in localized SOCs, compliance automation and encryption, propelling short-term spending well above organic run-rate growth.

Certified-talent shortage
Vietnam will need more than 700,000 cybersecurity specialists by 2028, yet 76% of firms already report staffing shortages, inflating salary costs and elongating deployment cycles.Brain drain to overseas employers worsens scarcity, while university curricula lag on hands-on training. The National Cybersecurity Association’s 2025 nCademy platform offers AI-personalized courses, but its near-term impact on workforce volume remains limited. Vendors compensate by bundling remote managed services and low-touch SaaS tools, but project timelines still extend.
Price-sensitive SME segment
Fourteen percent of SMEs run no antivirus software and 48% lack any security monitoring, citing budget rather than technical barriers. Although Security-as-a-Service models reduce upfront outlays, many firms still wait until post-breach before investing, compressing addressable market value despite large customer volume. Providers increasingly offer freemium tiers and government-subsidized packages to seed adoption.
