The Phishing prevention campaign for more than 14,000 employees has contributed to a 40% reduction in dangerous vulnerabilities, improving response capacity and security awareness in member organizations.

Regarding the 2025 operational orientation, the CYSEEX alliance plans to continue expanding its membership, organize monthly combat exercises, and promote the deployment of 'Threat Hunting' techniques - hunting for threats existing in the system to enhance the security capabilities of alliance members.

Next year, the alliance will also focus on anti-phishing, aiming to reduce the risk of data theft and financial losses, while helping to maintain the stability and trust of the digital business environment.

“This will be a solid foundation to help individuals and businesses feel secure in developing in a safer digital environment,” emphasized the representative of the CYSEEX alliance.

As an information security alliance initiated and established in 2022 by MISA, Sapo, Viettel Solutions, Bao Viet, MobiFone and Bravo, CYSEEX aims to cooperate, connect, respond and protect the safety of members' information systems against the risk of cyber attacks.
