Unifying the Law on Cyber Security and the Law on Cyber Information Security: essential requirements

Cường Quang |

In the era of information technology development, cyber security and network information security have become an urgent issue for every country.

Therefore, the merger of the two laws on Cyber Security and Cyber Information Security has been set out as an inevitable requirement to ensure safety in the digital environment. This not only contributes to protecting the rights of the people but also improves the effectiveness of state management of the national information system.

Conceptions and differences?

Cyber security is often understood as measures to protect the network system from attacks aimed at xambery, sabotage or data theft. This is a key factor to protect the country's critical technical infrastructure from the threat of cybercrime.

Network information security is related to ensuring the security, integrity and availability of information during the transmission process over the network. This includes not only data protection measures but also preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that information is not illegally changed.

Although these two concepts are quite different, they are closely related and complement each other in cyberspace protection. Each country's information systems are always faced with risks from cyber threats, from hackers, criminal organizations to dangers from external factors.

Why is it necessary to merge these two laws?

Strengthening the synchronization of management: The merger of the two laws helps create a more synchronous and transparent legal framework in managing cyber security and safety issues. This will help reduce overlap in regulations, while improving implementation efficiency.

Meeting the need for comprehensive protection: Cyberthreats are increasingly sophisticated and unpredictable. A unified legal system will make it easier for authorities to detect, prevent and handle violations. We need to have a comprehensive view of network information security and safety to be able to protect all aspects of the digital space.

Support the development of the digital economy: In the digital age, economic activities, online transactions, and the use of digital services are becoming more and more popular. To ensure the sustainable development of the digital economy, there needs to be a solid legal system to protect people, businesses and organizations from risks from cyber attacks.

Responding to international challenges: On an international scale, threats from borderless cyberspace. Cybercriminal organizations can operate across borders, causing damage to multiple countries at the same time. Unifying regulations on network information security and safety will help countries coordinate more closely in dealing with these threats.

Benefits of merging laws?

Clearness and consistency in the law: When the two laws are merged, regulations related to network security and safety will be included in a unified legal framework, reducing overlap and conflicts between different legal regulations.

Improve the ability to protect personal information and data: The merger helps the state build mechanisms to protect the rights of citizens in cyberspace more effectively. Regulations on personal data protection, privacy of social network users or online services will be more clearly regulated.

Create a transparent and accessible legal environment: With the merger of the two laws, organizations, businesses and people can easily understand and comply with regulations related to network information security and safety.

Ensuring flexibility in law enforcement: With the continuous development of technology and forms of cybercrime, the merger will help the law be flexible and quickly adapt to new challenges.

In an increasingly connected world, protecting network information security and safety is not only a problem for authorities but also a common task of the whole society. Organizing the Law on Cyber Security and the Law on Cyber Information Security is not only an urgent requirement in the current context but also a necessary step to ensure a safe, secure and sustainable digital environment for both the country and the people. To meet new challenges in cyberspace, we need a strong and synchronous legal system.
