Interviewing Minh Dang, IT Director and CSO at NashTech

While the industry 4.0 era is coming, information security is not as easy as people may think. Which folder to save your files and where to store your computer is no longer an optimal concern when it comes to cybersecurity nowadays since cyberattacks are having more extensive effects than ever before. We see many data leakages and cyberattacks resulted from the interconnected nature and digital transformation of industry 4.0.

As such, for any company, especially an IT outsourcing company, security plays an undeniably important role. Understanding this, we interviewed Mr. Minh Dang, our IT Director and CSO, to understand more about his career and information security at NashTech.
