Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Dr. Nguyen Huu Hung, Deputy Head of the Government Cipher Committee, affirmed: In recent times, the work of ensuring national security under the direct and comprehensive leadership of the Party has achieved important achievements, helping to prevent and promptly respond to traditional and non-traditional security threats, defeating the plots and activities of "peaceful evolution" and violent overthrow of hostile and reactionary forces... However, with the current rapid development of science and technology, ensuring national security is an essential requirement to ensure peace and national development.
With cyberspace considered a “special territory”, cyber security, confidentiality and information security using cryptographic techniques increasingly affirm their great role in protecting sovereignty, developing the economy, and maintaining political and social stability of countries.

In her opening remarks at the workshop, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Truong Giang, Deputy Director of the Academy of Journalism and Communication, Head of Project KX04-32/21-25, said that the workshop is a national task, under the State-level scientific project: "Non-traditional security issues, focusing on cyber security in national security", code KX.04.32/21-25, under the Political Theory Research Program for the period 2021-2025 of the Central Theoretical Council, chaired by the Academy of Journalism and Communication.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Truong Giang emphasized: In recent times, the situation of network safety and security has continued to develop in a complex and unpredictable manner. In 2022, the Ministry of Public Security recorded and analyzed nearly 8 million warnings and signs of cyber attacks. Cyber espionage and sabotage activities by hostile forces are increasingly complicated, causing serious consequences for sovereignty, security, politics, foreign affairs, economy and society. Cyber attacks on key information systems of national security to destroy databases, cause disruptions or take control have occurred more frequently. The issue of cybersecurity requires continued identification, interpretation, and analysis of new theoretical and practical points, and the search for principles, strategies, and solutions from a cryptographic and administrative perspective to effectively prevent, respond, and resolve non-traditional security threats, focusing on cybersecurity in national security in accordance with the new context and new conditions.
On behalf of the Project Management Board, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Truong Giang expressed her hope that the Workshop would receive many comments, discussions, and exchanges from researchers and scientists, so that the Project Management Board could have more valuable arguments and data, and distill the most quintessential content on non-traditional security issues, focusing on cyber security in national security, as materials to prepare for the upcoming 14th Party Congress Documents.
