VSEC

What VSEC does

VSEC (Công ty Cổ phần An ninh mạng Việt Nam) is a Vietnamese managed security service provider founded in 2003 and headquartered in Hanoi, operating as a privately held joint stock company within the G-Group technology ecosystem. The company delivers enterprise cybersecurity services — including 24/7 SOCaaS, Managed Detection and Response, digital forensics and incident response, penetration testing, red team exercises, compromise assessment, and cloud security services — to over 500 enterprise customers across BFSI, cloud-native, and broader enterprise segments in Vietnam and select international markets.

The technology backbone is VADAR, a modular security platform integrating EDR, SIEM, SOAR, Network Security Management, and Incident Management, complemented by VSEC XDR for cross-layer threat correlation and the VSEC Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) / TI Engine, which monitors dark web leaks, phishing infrastructure, counterfeit domains, and exposed credentials across over 10,000 servers and 30,000 endpoints. The SOC reportedly processes hundreds of thousands of events per second across on-premise, cloud, and OT/ICS environments, with AI/ML embedded for anomaly detection and a dedicated SAFESAI product for AI-powered fraud detection.

VSEC earns revenue through a mix of recurring managed service subscriptions (SOCaaS, MDR, Pentest-as-a-Service, cloud security), project-based professional services (penetration testing, DFIR, red team, security audit), and licensing of proprietary software. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with AWS Services Partner and Splunk strategic partner channels, supported by community events (BSides Hanoi 2025), thought leadership content, and the company's status as the first CREST-recognized cybersecurity firm in Vietnam for Penetration Testing and SOC services.

This is complemented by VSEC XDR (Extended Detection & Response) for cross-layer threat correlation and the VSEC Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) / TI Engine for proactive threat monitoring and dark web data breach detection.
