Vietnam, with a rapidly developing digital economy, cannot be left out in the face of cybersecurity challenges. Improving the autonomy of cybersecurity is an urgent requirement, not only to protect the safety of the country's critical infrastructure but also to maintain social stability and sustainable economic development.
Protecting important national infrastructure
Vietnam's national cyber infrastructure, from government, banking, and corporate databases to telecommunications networks, is the target of increasingly sophisticated and complex cyber attacks. The attacks could come from hackers, criminal organizations, and even countries that intentionally attack network infrastructure to cause economic, political, and defense damage.
Improving cybersecurity autonomy helps Vietnam protect these technologies, ensuring the stability of key activities such as national governance, financial transactions, healthcare, and public services.
Ensuring the rights and interests of people and businesses
As society increasingly depends on information technology, protecting people's personal information and data is an important issue. personal information leakage, data loss or attacks on banking systems can cause serious damage to people's lives and business activities of businesses.
Improving autonomy in cybersecurity helps Vietnam build solutions to protect personal information and business data, as well as ensure the safety of online transactions. This not only helps protect the rights of people but also creates a favorable business environment, enhancing the confidence of domestic and foreign investors.
deal with external threats
In the context of cybersecurity becoming an increasingly strategic factor, external threats, especially from subjects that intentionally attack and attack the country's critical infrastructure, are unpredictable. Cyber attacks can cause heavy damage to the economy and national security.
Improving cybersecurity autonomy helps Vietnam be more proactive in detecting, preventing and responding to these threats, not completely dependent on international partners in protecting cybersecurity.
Developing the digital economy and applying high technology
Vietnam is strongly transforming in building a digital economy, where production, transaction and service provision activities all rely on information technology. Along with that, advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT) are increasingly widely applied in different industries.
However, with this development, cybersecurity risks are also increasing. Improving cybersecurity autonomy will help Vietnam build a safe digital environment, protect high-tech systems and support the sustainable development of the digital economy.
Ensuring national sovereignty in cyberspace
cyberspace has no borders, and countries around the world are competing for influence in this field. Reliance on major overseas technology companies could lead to a loss of control over national data and sensitive information. This also creates a risk of external factors intervening in national policies and decisions.
Improving cybersecurity autonomy helps Vietnam protect national sovereignty in cyberspace, ensure the safety of data and strategic information systems, and avoid being affected by external factors.
Creating a strong legal and institutional system
To build autonomy in cybersecurity, it is necessary not only to invest in technology but also to develop a legal system and cybersecurity management institutions. This includes perfecting legal regulations, training high-quality human resources, and building specialized organizations on cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity autonomy also helps Vietnam effectively respond to cybersecurity issues without being too dependent on support from other countries. This becomes even more important in the context of increasingly complex and sophisticated cyber attacks.
Strengthening the autonomy of cybersecurity is an indispensable requirement for Vietnam in protecting national information security, ensuring the rights of people and businesses, while maintaining national sovereignty in cyberspace. This is also an important factor in helping Vietnam develop sustainably in the digital economy, ensuring social security and stability in the context of the world increasingly dependent on digital technology.
