The 2025 Cybersecurity Awards and Cambodian Digital Government Forum (DGF) today announced the appointment of global risk strategist Naveen Vasudeva as a Distinguished Judge and Featured Keynote Speaker. Vasudeva will contribute his independent strategic perspective to the national gathering convened by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, as Cambodia accelerates its digital transformation, national resilience, and investment-readiness agenda.
Vasudeva is the architect of Strategic Capital Risk Intelligence, a model that elevates cybersecurity from a technical concern to a core boardroom and sovereign economic issue. His framework identifies the hidden exposures that influence enterprise value, national competitiveness, and capital allocation — integrating digital exposure, behavioural patterns, governance maturity, and geopolitical pressure.
With a career spanning three decades across international banking, FTSE-listed organisations, and government advisory, Vasudeva supports global CEOs, boards, private capital groups, and sovereign authorities in strengthening governance and safeguarding long-term economic value.
He maintains full independence from vendors, consultancies, and commercial technologies, ensuring strategic advice free from external influence.
Supporting Cambodia’s Digital Ambition
Selected from a competitive field of more than 40 international experts, Vasudeva’s involvement signals Cambodia’s commitment to embedding world-class risk intelligence into the foundations of its digital future. His appointment aligns with the Digital Government Policy 2022–2035, which prioritises trusted digital public services, secure national infrastructure, and the establishment of a resilient, investment-ready digital economy.
His insights support both government and private capital groups seeking confidence in Cambodia’s emerging digital ecosystem.
“Digital trust is now a currency,” said Vasudeva. “Cambodia is making strategic, future-focused decisions to strengthen its digital foundations. My role is to help frame this conversation around foresight, consequence, and the protection of national economic value.”
Keynote Message: Cyber Risk Has Become Capital Risk
In his keynote address to ministers, policymakers, regulators, and enterprise leaders, Vasudeva will outline why nations must shift from reactive cybersecurity models to proactive, intelligence-led governance.
“The threat is no longer a single breach. The real risk is hidden capital erosion, declining trust, and strategic disadvantage,” Vasudeva will state. “Cyber risk has matured into capital risk. Nations and organisations that ignore this shift risk falling behind in a world defined by systemic digital exposure.”
