According to statistics in 2021, the Ministry of Public Security
has recorded and analyzed nearly eight million warnings related to cyberattack
activities, thereby detecting and verifying 2,763 cyberattacks targeting portal
sites in the country (up 26% compared to 2020). In addition, cyberattacks tend
to increase, causing political influence and greater economic losses. In
addition, the situation of illegally collecting and infiltrating information
and data of organizations and individuals for illegal purpose are increasingly
complicated. The participation of network security services will contribute to
strengthening the protection of the network security environment, especially
important economic organizations such as banks, securities, state agencies,
which are organizations that have vital role of the country.
On the other hand, the development of network security services is
in line with the development policy of the country. Specifically, in Resolution
No. 30 of the Politburo on the National Cybersecurity Strategy, the ultimate
goal has been determined to reduce the risk of national security and social
order and safety being compromised. Moreover, the Government has also issued
Resolution No. 22 on the action plan to ensure national cybersecurity.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Public Security shall assume the prime
responsibility for formulating a Decree stipulating conditions for trading in
cybersecurity products and services. Therefore, making network security
services a business line is consistent with the current context and development
orientation.
In addition, approving network security services will guide
specific regulations and conditions for businesses. Businesses and
organizations and individuals providing cybersecurity products and services
will need to actively comply with regulations. The business conditions for
network security services will ensure that network security products and
services to be provided by reputable and capable service providers.
Accordingly, improving policies and laws and improving the effectiveness and
efficiency of state management of information, communication and network
security will be a solid basis for cybersecurity services to demonstrate their
functions and roles its important role in the overall development of the
country.
Moreover, developing quality and effective cybersecurity services
will create more opportunities and attract more foreign investors to
participate in the Vietnam market. Most business activities now have involved
the Internet connection, and therefore the risks such as information security
and data security will be an issue of concern to investors making
investment, setting up company in Vietnam.
If network security services that support risk reduction and data recovery to
help run business well, it will create confidence and motivation for investors.
The Ministry of Public Security expects network security products
and services to include: (i) Confidential products to collect information
(devices where hardware and software have the function of collecting
information, documents, and data) via cyber – spyware; (ii) Security control
products for network traffic (in which specialized hardware and software equipment
for competent state agencies are designed with specific features to protect
targets, systems, etc.) information system to warn, detect and prevent cyber
security violations; (iii) Network security monitoring services, network
security testing, knowledge training, network consulting, standards assessment.
These are services and products that have practical applications and are
capable of meeting the needs of individuals and organizations using cyberspace.
Therefore, although cybersecurity services have not yet been
officially approved, in the current context, network security services will be
an effective solution to work with the Government to build a digital
environment and develop digital technology secure and sustainable information
technology in line with the speed of global development. It is expected that
when cyber security services are specified, it will promote a healthy, safe and
