🔐 As AI becomes more involved in decision-making, cybersecurity is no longer only about protecting data. Organisations also need to ensure that AI-generated decisions can be verified, controlled and trusted.

🧠 At SWIN-CRIDS 2026, Dr Pham Van Dai, Dean of the Smart IT Faculty at Metropolia University Vietnam, emphasised that even as systems become more autonomous, humans must still define the boundaries, validate outcomes and remain accountable for final decisions.

⚛️ He also highlighted the need to prepare early for emerging risks. With technologies such as quantum computing and AI continuing to converge, cybersecurity cannot wait until these technologies become mainstream.

🎓 This shift also changes what future technology professionals need to learn. Students must go beyond security fundamentals and apply their knowledge in real business environments to prepare for technologies that may not yet fully exist today.

🌐 His insights underline a broader point: the future of technology is not only about building smarter systems, but also about making them secure, trustworthy and responsible.

🛡️ Cybersecurity can no longer rely on waiting for an incident to happen. As threats become faster and more sophisticated, organisations need to identify risks before they turn into real damage.

⚡ At SWIN-CRIDS 2026, Mr Robert Leyba, Vice President of ISC2 Vietnam Chapter, highlighted the need for a more proactive approach to cyber defence — one that continuously looks for suspicious behaviour and emerging threats.

🤖 AI is also changing both sides of the cybersecurity landscape. Attackers can move faster, but defenders can use the same technologies to strengthen detection, response and resilience.

👥 His message goes beyond technology: cybersecurity is also about business and people. Strong protection requires technology, processes and human judgement to work together.

🎓 For Swinburne Vietnam students, these insights provide a practical view of how cybersecurity is evolving and why future professionals will need both technical capabilities and a broader understanding of people, organisations and risk.

⚠️ As AI becomes easier to access, cyber fraud is also becoming easier to create, scale and personalise.

🔐 At SWIN-CRIDS 2026, Mr Nguyen Gia Hung, Head of Solutions Architecture at Amazon Web Services (AWS) Vietnam, highlighted how AI is lowering the barriers to digital fraud — making convincing fake content and large-scale attacks possible with fewer resources.

💳 He also stressed that cyber fraud is no longer a risk only for inexperienced users. Businesses and organisations are increasingly exposed as attacks become more sophisticated and targeted.

🛡️ This means security cannot focus on just one application or one stage of the customer journey. Organisations need stronger protection across systems, data and digital interactions.

🎓 For Swinburne Vietnam students, these insights offer a practical view of how cybersecurity challenges are evolving in real industries — and why future technology professionals need to understand both emerging threats and the systems designed to defend against them.

🛡️ As AI capabilities advance rapidly, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring that governance and security can keep pace.

⚠️ At SWIN-CRIDS 2026, Mr Phan Phu Thuan, Cybersecurity Specialist at FPT Smart Cloud, highlighted the growing gap between what AI systems can do and how effectively organisations can control them.

🤖 This challenge becomes even more critical as AI agents begin to interact, coordinate and improve with greater autonomy. Without clear safeguards, organisations risk losing visibility and control over how these systems operate.

🔐 His key message: security cannot be added later. Principles such as Zero Trust need to be built into systems from the start, alongside clear human oversight and accountability.

🎓 These insights also help Swinburne Vietnam students understand that building secure AI is not only a technical challenge, but also one of governance, risk management and responsible decision-making.

🤖 AI is moving beyond answering questions. With Agentic AI, systems can increasingly use tools, coordinate tasks and take action across real business workflows.

💡 At SWIN-CRIDS 2026, Mr Ngo Manh Ha, CEO of XBrain, highlighted that the real challenge is not simply building a more powerful AI model, but using existing technologies effectively to solve business problems and improve operations.

⚙️ As AI systems become more autonomous, human control remains essential. Agentic AI must be designed with clear mechanisms for oversight, approval and accountability.

📈 For businesses and future technology professionals, the message is equally clear: using AI does not mean losing jobs, but failing to learn how to work with AI could mean losing valuable opportunities.

🎓 These insights also give Swinburne Vietnam students a closer look at how AI is being applied in real business environments - and the capabilities they will need to work with the next generation of intelligent systems.

🔐 Cybersecurity risks are not always caused by sophisticated attacks. Sometimes, they build up quietly through delayed updates, ageing systems and short-term operational choices.

💻 At SWIN-CRIDS 2026, Mr Pham Thuc Phuoc, Infrastructure Manager at SupremeTech, highlighted how repeated postponement can create “security debt” — increasing long-term risks across systems and operations.

📉 This debt can go far beyond IT, affecting business continuity, financial performance, customer trust and even strategic decisions.

⚙️ His message was clear: digital resilience requires organisations to address technical and security risks early, rather than allowing them to accumulate over time.

🎓 These practical insights also give Swinburne Vietnam students a closer look at the real decisions technology professionals face when managing modern digital infrastructure.

On Day 2 at Swinburne Vietnam – Danang, Gen 8 completed the Global Citizen Placement Test, an English proficiency assessment designed to identify the most suitable learning pathway for each student.

Based on the results, students will be placed into appropriate classes and begin the Global Citizen program.

In a 100% English-speaking environment, students will strengthen their English proficiency while developing essential global skills such as critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and adaptability.

✨ One assessment marks the beginning of a much bigger journey, preparing Gen 8 to learn, connect, and thrive in an international environment.
