So why are all these big IT security companies decending on Hanoi, Vietnam for the next couple of days?

The opening remarks and the first keynote by various government ministers shows how serious vietnam considers ICT security. Vietnam is a booming economy and the number of computer users and websites has literally exploded since 2003. Unfortunately this has also resulted in a corresponding increase in viruses, hacked websites (347 major sites hacked in Vietnam in 2007), malware, rootkits and phishing attacks.
Network security is playing a game of catch-up, probably more so here than many other countries (due to the economic boom) with many new users and business who have little idea about online security.
Therefore the government and the financial sector are desperate to increase security (the attacks allegedly coming mainly from china) and the big security firms are here to provide their expertise and carve a place in this profitable niche market.
All reports and graphs I've seen so far show increases in computer systems users, internet access, websites and ATTACKS!
