This is an activity within the framework of the Vietnam Information Security Day 2024 workshop with the theme "Information security for data infrastructure and national digital platform" chaired by the Vietnam Information Security Association (VNISA) on November 21 in Hanoi.
Since the end of 2021, information security drills of agencies and organizations in Vietnam have changed: shifting from passive drills based on situations and scenarios to real-life drills. Thereby, helping agencies and organizations gain more experience in handling and overcoming cyber attacks in practice.
In 2022 and 2023, about 7,000 experts participated in national, ministerial, and local combat exercises, and nearly 1,500 loopholes and weaknesses in the information systems of units were discovered.
However, there is still a gap between national field exercises and local and ministerial field exercises in terms of efficiency and quality. On the other hand, many units are also facing challenges such as: lack of personnel, lack of tools, lack of funding, lack of capacity and information security experience to meet practical requirements.
To make up for the shortage, maximizing the capacity of digital tools and platforms is considered a feasible and effective solution for units.
The Department of Information Security said that with the platform supporting real-life exercises, the implementation of information security exercises at agencies and organizations will be easier and of higher quality, synchronous, gradually narrowing the gap between agencies as well as with national-scale real-life exercises.
In May 2024, the Department of Information Security officially put into operation the platform for managing, detecting and giving early warnings of information security risks.
Previously, the Department of Information Security established and provided 3 digital platforms for free, including a platform to support management to ensure information system security at all levels; a platform to support coordination and incident response; and a platform to support digital investigation.
In addition, the Department of Information Security will also regularly research, improve, and update the features and performance of the platforms that have been put into operation to be able to better support ministries, branches, and localities in ensuring information security.
To promote compliance with legal regulations and enhance information system security at all levels, in Directive 09, the Prime Minister requires ministries, branches and localities to regularly and effectively use information security support platforms provided by the Ministry of Information and Communications.
