Vietnam works to improve information security
12:06, 2014/12/05
The national information security index of Vietnam in 2014 is 39 percent, a slight rise against the previous year’s figure of 37.5 percent, said a report released on December 4 in Hanoi during the launching ceremony for the 2014 Vietnam Information Security Day.
Assessments from international organisations, however, still showed that Vietnam is among countries with high proportion of harmful software transmission, which significantly affects the country’s credit in the digital world.
According to Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Nguyen Minh Hong, the work of ensuring information security at offices, agencies and enterprises in Vietnam has still not been given due attention.
Meanwhile, the legal framework on standard and national technical regulations on information security has yet to provide a sufficient foundation for the application of management measures in the field, he noted.
Under the theme “Information safety, security and national sovereignty,” the 2014 Vietnam Information Security Day aimed to raise public awareness of information security and encourage human resources training in the area.
It also looked to promote the application and development of IT in a safe and secure manner since attacks targeting important data of organisations and enterprises as well as private information of thousands of people are on the rise.
During the ceremony, representatives of many software giants such as Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco and Firewire, shared their experience, solutions and tools to ensure safety and security for important national information systems.
Besides a conference held following the launch, the 2014 Vietnam Information Security Day also consists of two seminars on ensuring security for key national information system, and the risk of information loss from hand-held devices.
