Abstract: This article systematically analyzes the development trajectory, evaluation criteria, and practical implementation of cybersecurity within the national security review process for foreign direct investment conducted by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. The study demonstrates that cybersecurity has transitioned from a peripheral factor to a central pillar in Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States assessments, particularly in transactions involving critical technologies, sensitive data, and critical infrastructure. By continuously expanding review scope, refining risk assessment frameworks, and strengthening enforcement mechanisms, the United States has established the most comprehensive global system for evaluating cybersecurity in foreign direct investment. Building on this analysis, the article proposes policy recommendations for Vietnam to enhance its foreign direct investment cybersecurity review framework, including the development of a legal foundation, institutional mechanisms, risk evaluation protocols, and international collaboration.
