VNISA called for joining hands in ensuring information security
At the annual "Vietnam Information Security Day" held in Hanoi on December 1, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Bac Son called the Vietnam Information Security Association (VNISA), community, social and professional organizations, and media to join hands in ensuring information security.
The annual "Vietnam Information Security Day" was held in Hanoi on December 1, focusing on solutions to increasing cyber-attacks aimed at large corporations worldwide.
The event is organised by the VNISA, the Information Security Department under the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC), the Information and Technology Department under the Ministry of Education and Training and the MIC's Vietnam Computer Emergency Response Team (VNCERT).
Speaking at the event, General Secretary the Vietnam Information Security Association (VNISA) Vu Quoc Thanh said Vietnam’s information security index stands at 46.4 percent, adding that the country aims to become a regional convergence of digital and national sovereignty on the traditional spaces by 2020.
He stressed the need to outline strategies to safeguard digital sovereignty, and have a strategic partition on network space between the State and the private sector.
MIC Deputy Minister Nguyen Thanh Hung said that many domestic agencies and organisations have not yet paid due attention to applying measures to ensure information safety. The country’s legal system, national standards in the field remain insufficient for application of management and technical measures, which have been used widely in other countries.
Deputy Minister Hung underlined that the development of new technological trends such as cloud computing, social network, and mobile communications increases risks of information insecurity and cybercrime.
According to Mr.Trinh Ngoc Minh, CISCO company representative, the huge investment has increased the cyber attacks in the recent years.
In the message of "2015 Vietnam Information Security Day", Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Bac Son called the VNISA, social and professional organizations, and media to join hands implementing tasks to ensure the information security.
The Minister affirmed that the ministry will establish and promulgate documents guiding the law, standards and technical regulations on information security, construct and implement the plan to ensure the national information security in 2016-2020 period.
Minister Son also stressed on measures to enhance information security assurance services hired by organizations and businesses, deploy activities of propaganda and dissemination to raise awareness and responsibilities of organizations and individuals in society about the importance of ensuring information security.
