Cybersecurity has become a major concern for businesses everywhere, with the number of companies reporting various attacks rising rapidly using new technologies. On June 12, 2018, the Vietnamese National Assembly passed the Law on Cybersecurity (the “Cybersecurity Law“), which will take effect on January 1, 2019. Among other aims, the law seeks to regulate data processing methods of technology companies that operate in Vietnam which understandably caused concern among foreign tech companies serving Vietnamese end-users with fears of mandatory data localization and requirements to establish a physical presence in Vietnam. Join us on the Cybersecurity Luncheon – jointly organised by the BBGV and RHTLaw Taylor Wessing to keep your business updated with new technology and Cyber threats, understand Vietnam’s new Cyber Security legislation and its implication, Cybersecurity risks in M&As as well as discuss on Managing Cyber Threats.
