On April 7, the National Cyber Security Association (NCA) organized a thematic workshop "Security in the AI era - Strategy for shaping the digital future.
Speaking at the workshop, Colonel, Dr. Nguyen Hong Quan - Deputy Director of the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention (A05 - Ministry of Public Security), Head of the Data Security and Personal Data Protection Department, National Cyber Security Association, said that AI is fundamentally changing the methods and nature of cyberspace threats.
If in the past, cybercriminals mainly relied on traditional techniques and tools, today with the support of AI, they have been able to automate large-scale attacks with unprecedented sophistication. Personalized forms of fraud, Deepfake technology are increasingly difficult to detect and malware can adapt itself to evade defense systems.
A noteworthy point is that cybercrime is shifting from a single operation phase to a professional, systematic, and "industrialized" organizational model. AI helps significantly reduce preparation, deployment, and scaling up attacks.
This leads to a new reality, cyberspace is no longer a static environment, but has become a dynamic battlefield, where attack and defense activities take place continuously at an increasingly fast pace.
Reality in Vietnam shows that these trends are no longer potential risks but have become clear. We record many cases of fraud through fake messages, brand impersonation, banking, applications to appropriate assets; and especially calls using Deepfake technology to fake images and voices to create trust and request money transfers.
In particular, the subjects also impersonate functional agencies, use sophisticated scenarios, exploit personal information to put psychological pressure on victims. These cases show the increasingly close combination between technology and human behavioral psychology science" - Colonel, Dr. Nguyen Hong Quan emphasized.
According to Colonel, Dr. Nguyen Hong Quan, in that context, strengthening cooperation between state agencies, businesses and international organizations is extremely necessary. No country or organization can solve all the problems posed on their own. We need to build a cooperative ecosystem, in which information sharing about threats, coordination in research and development and deployment of advanced technology solutions.
At the event, Check Point participated as a professional partner, sharing an international perspective on network security in the AI era. "AI is reshaping both business innovation and network risks" - Ms. Ruma Balasubramanian - President of Check Point Software Technologies Asia-Pacific and Japan region shared.
According to Ms. Ruma Balasubramanian, Check Point's AI security method focuses on display, administration and prevention throughout the AI ecosystem. For businesses interested in building their own AI infrastructure to meet data ownership requirements, Check Point proposes an approach through the "AI Factory Security Blueprint" model - a reference architecture that helps control risks throughout from GPU infrastructure to large language models (LLM).
