At the event, CMC Corporation made an impression at the exhibition area of Digital Cambodia 2019 with 3 technology solutions that are fully developed by Vietnamese people: CISE - a comprehensive security solution for information system, CMC NextGen SOC - the new generation of cyber security center, and C.OPE2N (CMC Open Ecosystem for Enterprise) - an open ecosystem which integrates all technology strengths of CMC, such as Multi-Cloud platform, Data Lake, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and application platform, allowing agencies, enterprises and clients of CMC to link and share data resources in the digital environment.

Mr. Vu Lam Bang (Director of Product Research & Development Center, CMC Infosec) introduced the products to be exhibited: "Organizations and enterprises who wish to develop must build infrastructure that is sustainable, secured and monitorable. CISE (CMC Internet Security Enterprise) is a comprehensive security solution for information systems against malicious attacks. Meanwhile, CMC NextGen SOC is the first AI-integrated cyber security center in Vietnam, which is the best solution to help businesses get a comprehensive view of their system security and solve defense issues for the information system in the most sustainable way. With the introduction of CMC security products at Digital Cambodia 2019, CMC hopes to provide information security services for businesses and organizations in Cambodia.” Also at Digital Cambodia 2019, Mr. Ha The Phuong (Deputy CEO of CMC Infosec) will attend the discussion on advantages and disadvantages in developing IT service solutions (Development Service Solutions). Mr. Phuong is also the only Vietnamese speaker at this conference.

Previously, in the working schedule, the leadership of CMC Corporation had also participated in important meetings with the Minister, such as the meeting of Vietnamese ICT companies which are operating or having business investment in Cambodia on the afternoon of March 13, 2019 and a bilateral meeting between H.E. Nguyen Manh Hung and Cambodia's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications on the morning of March 14, 2019. At the meeting with Vietnamese ICT companies, Mr. Nguyen Trung Chinh (Chairman of Board of Directors/CEO of CMC Corporation) had reported to the Minister of CMC investment portfolio in the Southeast Asia: "At the end of 2018, CMC Telecom has cooperated with TIME dotCom Malaysia and TIME Cambodia to acquire the capacity of AAE1 cable route from Cambodia to Hong Kong and to connect to its backbone cable system - CVCS- with initial capacity of 300Gbps, which can be expanded to multiple Tbs, and a total investment of 10 million USD.  Thus, clients approaching CMC for broadband services can be able to use these services in many countries instead of being limited to Vietnam. This is the first step for stronger investment of CMC in Southeast Asia market."
