Cambodia Investment Review
On August 29, 2025, at GIA Towers, CABS Consulting organized a seminar titled “Strengthening Cyber Resilience in Financial Institutions”, focusing on enhancing cybersecurity for financial institutions. The event featured participation from cybersecurity experts, major financial institutions in Cambodia, and renowned speakers both local and international.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Ly Vandy, Director of CABS Consulting, shared recent cases of cyberattacks that occurred during the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict. He emphasized Cambodia’s strong technological defenses and clarified that claims of system breaches were false and misleading.
Importance Of Risk Management In Technology Systems
Mr. Ly Vandy also stressed the importance of risk management in technology systems and cybersecurity for financial institutions. He encouraged institutions to adopt best practices to protect themselves from cyber threats, maintain operational continuity, and comply with both Cambodian law and international financial standards.
Mr. Dominic, Vice President of Sales at PRE Security, discussed the growing role of AI in cybersecurity in 2025. He noted that while AI is being used to launch sophisticated attacks, it can also be a powerful tool for defense—if properly integrated into security operations.
Mr. Ryan Ngai, Director of PRE Security, demonstrated the PRE AI Native SecOps Platform, which uses AI to detect and mitigate system vulnerabilities. The platform analyzes threats and provides highly effective solutions to safeguard infrastructure.
Mr. Abdullah Zafar from global cybersecurity firm RevBits LLC highlighted the importance of Privileged Access Management (PAM). He explained how clearly defined user roles and emergency response protocols can prevent unauthorized access and ensure secure identity management within systems.
Prepare For Evolving Cybersecurity
Toward the end of the program, a lively panel discussion was moderated by Mr. John Hosegood, a cybersecurity advisor from the UK. Panelists included Eat Chetrasorivong CIO of Woori Bank Cambodia, Mr. Ryan Ngai from PRE Security, and Mr. Abdullah Zafar from RevBits. The discussion focused on how financial institutions can prepare for the evolving cybersecurity landscape shaped by AI.
This event was hosted by CABS Consulting, a leading cybersecurity advisory firm in Cambodia. The company provides strategic solutions and expert guidance to major institutions, supported by a network of seasoned professionals and international partners.
