Most cybersecurity tools don’t fail due to a lack of technology, they fail because they don’t fit into how modern teams build and operate. While the industry chases flashy dashboards and technical jargon, CyStack takes a different approach: building real-world, ROI-driven security solutions that work in the flow of business.

In an exclusive interview with Website Planet, Trung Nguyen, Founder & CEO of CyStack, shared how the company detects vulnerabilities 3.5x faster, reduces vulnerability detection times to under 24 hours, and turns security into a growth driver. This post dives into their approach and vision.

Security should be a growth lever – Not a cost

CyStack, a Vietnam-based cybersecurity leader, serves over 600 Web2 and Web3 companies across Southeast Asia. With a hybrid model combining expert services and modular tools, CyStack helps businesses:

• Detect critical vulnerabilities 3.5x faster
• Cut critical vulnerability detection times from 5 – 10 days to under 24 hours
• Achieve measurable ROI: 73% of clients report improved cost efficiency

In short, CyStack makes security an asset, not a bottleneck.

Why most cybersecurity tools don’t work

Misaligned tools and overwhelming noise

The cybersecurity industry doesn’t suffer from a shortage of tools, but from a shortage of tools that actually work.

Most cybersecurity platforms either bombard users with irrelevant alerts or offer rigid solutions that don’t fit real-world workflows. Trung Nguyen notes that these tools often fail to address the practical needs of teams building and shipping software.

The industry advice most vendors won’t give you

Prioritize real threats over hype

CyStack focuses on high-impact vulnerabilities like misconfigurations and leaked credentials rather than chasing rare, complex threats. This superior protection and value resonates with a broad audience and aligns with CyStack’s mission to make cybersecurity accessible to most businesses, not just limited to large corporations as traditionally seen, because every enterprise deserves protection.

Security as a business enabler

By combining robust tools, human expertise, and workflow integrations, CyStack makes cybersecurity a catalyst for growth, not just a cost center.

CyStack isn’t here to scare businesses into buying tools. It’s here to build systems that solve actual problems, so teams can move faster, safer, and with confidence.
