Hanoi (VNA) - Network attacks in Vietnam have become more sophisticated with rises in scale, number and quality, especially those targeting big businesses, said Nguyen Thanh Hung, Deputy Minister of Information and Communication.
Speaking at the "New era of information security” seminar held to mark the ninth annual Vietnam Information Security Day in Hanoi on December 2, Hung said the ministry has always supported associations and businesses to build a safe and healthy information society.
Information security globally has seen complicated changes as many Internet of Things (IoT) devices were attacked on a large scale, causing serious problems, he said, adding that there is no international pact or law on network security.
In Vietnam, a legal framework on network security is nearly completed. After the law on network security was approved by the National Assembly, the Government promulgated Decree 02 guiding the implementation of the law. The ministry has also cooperated with relevant ministries and agencies to implement a plan to ensure information security under Decision No 898/QD-TTg dated May 27, 2016.
“Information security is expected to experience more complicated changes in the upcoming time. The situation is also seen in Vietnam. This is why State agencies, enterprises, organisations and individuals in the ICT sector should quickly seek suitable solutions to respond to the issue,” he said.
