Webinar: “Stay Ahead of Cyber Threats”

On March 29, the event “Stay Ahead of Cyber Threats,” organized by Vietnamese Security Network JSC in collaboration with VNG Cloud, was successfully held and left positive impressions on the Vietnamese Tech and business communities. The event featured speakers from renowned cybersecurity institutions, such as Kaspersky, VNG Cloud, VSEC, and Megazone Cloud. The webinar drew in more than 450 participants due to the insightful information provided by industry experts.

In this webinar, Mr. Bui Trung Thanh, a Solution Consultant at VSEC, shared a new method for optimizing the cost of ensuring information security. Pentest is the most method often used for application cybersecurity.

PTaaS – Cost and time optimization

“Most businesses today lack a dedicated cybersecurity team, and their engineers lack the skills and knowledge necessary to implement and evaluate information security. That’s why businesses often choose to hire outsource entities to evaluate cybersecurity for their applications,” shared Mr. Thanh.

In addition, Mr. Thanh described the difficulties and limitations of conventional Pentesting, such as time, resources, and skills. To address this issue, a representative from VSEC introduced Pentest as a Service (PTaaS) – an optimized pentesting method that, while not new globally, is not yet wide spread in Vietnam.

PTaaS is a service that offers an automated vulnerability exploitation platform, combining AI/ML to simplify the search, analysis, and reporting of vulnerabilities. This shortens the implementation process and optimizes deployment costs. The combination of technical process automation, engineers’ expertise, and the artificial intelligence of PTaaS ensures the optimal execution processes when evaluating a specific application.

Clearly, PTaaS can help businesses carry out cybersecurity assessments more optimally than traditional methods, reducing costs and evaluation time, and better meeting businesses’ current needs.
