A national training programme on cybersecurity for digital transformation has been launched as part of the “Viet Nam Cybersecurity Range”, marking a significant step towards strengthening information security and risk management capabilities.

PM Chinh stressed that the increasingly complex developments in the global and regional situation require new mindset, particularly in addressing non-traditional security threats, including cyberattacks, online fraud, and activities that could undermine political stability and social order.

Viet Nam is seeking the United Nations (UN)'s policy guidance and international expertise to design AI and data governance frameworks, with the goal of developing practical guidelines for the public and private sectors, Minister of Public Security General Luong Tam Quang has said.

Digital transformation is creating fresh momentum for the country’s development, but it is also bringing new challenges regarding information safety and cybersecurity. To protect a safe and healthy cyberspace, the decisive factor lies not only in technology, but also in having a high-quality workforce — the foundation for safeguarding national security and digital sovereignty.

Vietnamese technology giant FPT Corporation has announced plans to invest 100 million USD in its newly established Quantum AI and Cybersecurity Research Institute, one of the first quantum research centres founded by a Vietnamese enterprise.

Cyberspace has become a new domain of national sovereignty. However, alongside its positive aspects, the rising wave of cyberattacks and the heavy dependence on foreign technologies are placing Viet Nam under urgent pressure to respond effectively to mounting cybersecurity threats.

The boom in digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) has been accompanied by increasingly sophisticated violations — from fraud and identity spoofing using face and voice manipulation to image-based manipulation — posing serious threats to information security and citizens’ interests. This reality highlights the urgent need for a robust legal framework to protect users and strengthen cyber-security.
