Data from VNISA revealed the country’s
information security indices were 47.4 percent, 59.9 percent and 46.8 percent
respectively in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
The 2018 Vietnam Information Security Day conference under the theme "Cyber
security for the age of artificial intelligence and smart devices” was hosted
by the VNISA, in collaboration with the Authority of Information Security and
the Vietnam Computer Emergency Response Team under the Ministry of Information
and Communications and the Command 86 under the Ministry of Defence.
Vietnam has about 350,000 IoT (Internet of Things) devices on the Internet,
most of which are cameras and routers. More than 40 percent of those might be
affected by information security loopholes, said Nguyen Thanh Hung, Deputy
Minister of information and communications.
Speaking at the conference, Hung said in the future, artificial intelligence
(AI) and IoT would be two concepts which are always mentioned together.
"IoT generates huge amounts of data and AI helps analyse and process
it."
Even though IoT promoted the digitisation of many industries, it posed security
threats to new technology applications, he said.
Tools used to attack IoT devices were becoming more sophisticated, algorithms
used to attack and artificial intelligence (AI) would be increased in the level
of both attack and defence.
On the other hand, some of the terminal devices would become new targets,
including refrigerators,robotvacuumcleaner, street lights or
watches.
According to Gartner’s report, more than 25 percent of the attacks are from
IoT-related companies by 2020.
"It is possible to see the risks in the coming time, in which malicious
code will become smarter and the perfect environment for them is the network of
IoT devices," said Hung.
This would be a great challenge that State agencies, organisations, businesses
and the community in Vietnam must pay attention to in order to avoid unexpected
consequences, he said.
The Deputy Minister also noted that cyber security was a long-lasting war.
However, he also noted information security was a field that Vietnam could make
strides in comparison with other areas of science and technology.
Basically, information security was based on human resources, not too dependent
on infrastructure.
One of the ways to enhance information security in Vietnam was to create
stronger trust among the society, he said. Trust was the key to success in the
field of cyber security.
To promote the work to ensure cyber security, the deputy minister suggested
State agencies and social organisations pay more attention to the work,
regularly updating knowledge and new technologies, while technical systems must
ensure information safety and meet the conditions for preventing and combating
network attacks.-

After the Lunar New Year (Tet) holidays, trade union members and workers in Hoa Binh province returned to work with an excited spirit at the beginning of the new spring. Throughout the workshops, factories and enterprises, they were full of enthusiasm, immediately getting to work, striving to excellently complete tasks and production and business targets.
Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
The provincial business association recently convened a conference to review its 2024 operations and outline plans for 2025. The meeting was attended by Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Duc Hinh along with leaders from various departments and agencies.
Hoa Binh province is prioritising rural transportation infrastructure to improve mobility, facilitate trade, and boost socio-economic development.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development has just issued Decision No. 377/QD-BNN-VPĐP approving the results of the evaluation and classification of the products of the National One Commune One Product Program in 2024 (phase 3).
As the Lunar New Year (Tet) approaches, the market becomes more vibrant than ever. In Hoa Binh province, preparations for Tet have been bustling since the 20th of the last lunar month, with an abundant supply of goods to meet the growing consumer demand.
