Vietnam to host 18th Anti-virus Asia Researchers International Conference 2015
The Association of Anti-virus Asia Researchers International Conference (AVAR 2015), themed “The Age of Cyber Warfare”, will be organised in the central city of Da Nang from December 2 - 4.
According to Head of Organising Board of AVAR 2015 Trieu Tran Duc said at the press conference held in Hanoi on November 5, this year’s event will attract participation of leading specialists and enterprises in the field, including Microsoft, Intel, Mc Afee and Kaspersky.
At the AVAR 2015, the world’s 50 most famous anti-virus software producers will gather in the central city of Da Nang to discuss cyberspace security solutions, he said.
It is estimated losses caused by cyber viruses in the Asia Pacific in 2014 accounted for 230 billion USD, while cyber warfare has spurred arms races among countries’ national defence systems.
Vietnam recently has become a hotspot in the Southeast Asian and Asia Pacific regions for information security. Many government and enterprise information systems and websites have been attacked, causing significant losses.
Information and Telecommunications ministry’s Deputy Head of the Information Security Department Nguyen Huy Dung said the conference would help Vietnamese entities and enterprises connect with international specialists and implement the State’s policies to improve awareness about information security in Vietnam.
