On November 7, 2026, HPT and NP Secure - strategic partner in Cambodia, hosted Executive Leadership Forum 2026, bringing together business leaders, technology executives and experts from leading banks and financial institutions in Vietnam and Cambodia under the theme “Financial Services Cybersecurity & AI”, at a time when cyber threats are growing in both scale and sophistication.
Under the message “Secure Today. Stronger Tomorrow.”, the forum explored the latest cybersecurity trends, emerging AI-driven threats such as deepfake fraud and ransomware, and strategies for strengthening cyber resilience. As digital transformation gains momentum across financial institutions in the region, Executive Leadership Forum 2026 underscored that cybersecurity and AI governance are now strategic leadership responsibilities, not just technical concerns.

HPT shares cybersecurity and AI solutions for the financial services sector
At the forum, HPT’s cybersecurity experts shared practical experience in securing systems for the banking and financial sector, focusing on three issues: cyberattacks exploiting agentic AI, AI system security, and the use of AI in cyber defense. To help banks and financial institutions maintain 24/7 monitoring, detect threats early and respond to incidents promptly, HPT presented HSOC Platform – a “Make in Viet Nam” SOC platform developed by HPT that brings together Security Operations Center (SOC) services, Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services and HPT’s practical experience in operating SOCs for financial institutions and banks. HSOC Platform supports the monitoring of transactions and critical infrastructure and helps meet stringent compliance requirements such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001, enabling financial institutions to shift from reactive to proactive defense.
These capabilities are backed by a team of experts holding internationally recognized certifications such as CISSP, CEH, OSCE and GXPN, with end-to-end experience spanning consulting, assessment, penetration testing, 24/7 SOC monitoring, threat hunting and incident response.
“HPT is firmly committed to delivering trusted, world-class cybersecurity solutions and services that protect enterprises’ systems, data and reputation. Together with our partners, HPT will continue to invest in expertise and technology, supporting organizations across the region in building lasting cyber resilience and achieving sustainable growth,” said Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nam, Deputy CEO of HPT Vietnam Corporation.
Quantum-Safe Banking: Shaping the future of banking security in the Quantum Era
Beyond today’s cybersecurity challenges, the forum also addressed long-term security priorities in the era of quantum computing. In the session “Quantum-Safe Banking: From Readiness to Trust,” Dr. Peter Phuc Huynh, APAC Chairman of SpecterAI Quantum Security, shared insights into key regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements for the banking and financial sector, including NBC, TCRMG 2026, PCI DSS and SWIFT CSCF. He also examined the potential impact of quantum computing on current cryptographic methods, highlighting the need to assess readiness and build a roadmap toward appropriate security solutions. He emphasized that migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is an opportunity for banks to reinforce customer trust, with three key messages: protect long-lived data today, plan the quantum-safe transition proactively, and independently validate readiness.
