The FIDO Alliance will be holding its first-ever FIDO APAC Summit, which is dedicated to advancing and promoting phishing-resistant FIDO authentication in the region. Co-hosted by the Ministry of Information and Communications (Vietnam), the summit will take place in Vinpearl Nha Trang, Vietnam, on 28 – 30 August 2023, and centers on the theme of Connecting for a Safer Digital Future.
The summit will feature more than 25 VIP guests and speakers from the APAC region. In addition, Hieu Minh Ngo, a former hacker turned cybersecurity specialist, will be offering insights into common cybersecurity traps and vulnerabilities, and how passwordless authentication technologies can boost organisations’ defenses against hackers.
Hieu, Threat Hunter, NCSC Viet Nam & Co-founder of Chongluadao.vn, said he knows firsthand how cybercriminals are always looking for loopholes to exploit for their gain. "That is why it is imperative for organisations to ensure a robust cybersecurity strategy to safeguard users online,” said Hieu.
“Embracing passwordless authentication can offer the highest levels of security and mitigate potential cyberthreats from malicious hackers. I am excited to be part of the FIDO APAC Summit 2023 to share my experiences on how going passwordless can thwart phishing attacks and impart valuable lessons to attendees.”
The keynote speakers at the FIDO APAC Summit include:
- Nguyen Huy Dung, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications, Vietnam

“The FIDO Alliance is excited to host its first Asia-Pacific Summit 2023 in Vietnam, which will feature content presented by some of the brightest minds in authentication from around the world,” said Shikiar.
“As cyberattacks continue to grow in volume and sophistication, it is more important than ever for companies to put passwords in the rear view mirror in favor of passkeys — which present a user-friendly alternative based upon FIDO standards.”
At the initial announcement of the event, Nguyen Huy Dung said: “We fully endorse the adoption of passwordless authentication technology to secure Vietnam’s digital economy. Our aspiration is to foster connections and collaborations with the FIDO Alliance and other APAC region countries for a safer digital future.”
The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance, www.fidoalliance.org, was formed in July 2012 to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication technologies, and remedy the problems users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords.
