A smaller number is not always good news. Vietnam's 2025 cybersecurity report records around 552,000 attacks, down nearly 19% year on year — yet the share of organizations harmed rose. In other words: fewer attacks, but each more dangerous.
What the report says
- Attacks fell, but the share of harmed organizations rose — attacks are more targeted and effective.
- Data is the top target: attackers go after data, not just disruption.
- 2026 forecast: AI-automated attacks, faster and at larger scale.
What businesses should read from it
- Don't measure safety by attacks blocked; measure it by your ability to protect data when one gets through.
- Prioritize protecting data and identity — the two most-targeted.
- Prepare for faster attacks: early detection and a response process.
This is the picture behind enterprise cyber defense and cybersecurity trends 2026.
