As part of the project, FPT will develop a centralized SOC system to establish integrated cybersecurity monitoring capabilities. The system will consolidate existing IT infrastructure and security solutions to collect, analyze, and monitor cybersecurity events. The project also includes the deployment of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services for 137 endpoints, standardization of the digital working environment, and comprehensive training and knowledge transfer to Phytopharma’s operations team.

At the ceremony, Mr. Wagner Torsten, Deputy CEO of Phytopharma, emphasized that the SOC project is one of the company’s key strategic initiatives. He noted that beyond meeting compliance requirements, the system serves as a “digital shield,” empowering the IT team to proactively detect, monitor, and respond to cyberattacks and targeted external threats.
Phytopharma Deputy CEO highlighting the importance of the SOC project
With nearly 50 years of experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution, Phytopharma is recognized as one of Vietnam’s leading companies in the industry, maintaining stable growth while continuously expanding its operations.
According to VIRAC, the pharmaceutical sector in Q1 2026 showed clear profit divergence. Companies achieving strong growth have focused on restructuring product portfolios, optimizing operational costs, and accelerating digital transformation to improve efficiency. At the same time, the industry continues to face increasing pressures from stricter manufacturing standards, evolving bidding regulations, raw material price fluctuations, and the growing influence of modern distribution chains.
Amid a rapidly transforming pharmaceutical industry, driven by digitalization and rising demands for governance and compliance, Phytopharma’s decision to implement an SOC system represents a strategic move. Acting as a “digital shield,” the SOC enhances monitoring capabilities, enables proactive threat detection and response, and establishes a secure, flexible, and sustainable technology foundation. This will empower Phytopharma to confidently advance its digital transformation and growth in the next phase.
