State President calls for enhancing cyber security and safety
State President Tran Dai Quang has called for enhancing “cyber security and safety in the new context” in an article written on the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of the Vietnamese People’s Police’s Tradition Day (August 19,1945-August 19, 2017).
Hostile forces’ damaging activities have kept rising in both scope and intensity by using websites and blogs for posting toxic contents and by organizing campaigns to blacken reputation of leaders of the Party and State.
To cope with the above situation, the Party and State have always paid attention to directing the guarantee of cyber security and safety while approving a string of guidelines, policies and measures to boost the application of information technology in various fields in a bid to firmly ensure national cyber sovereignty, interests and security.
Especially the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat and the Prime Minister respectively issued Directive No. 28-CT/TW dated September 16, 2013 and Directive No. 15/CT-TTg dated June 17, 2014 on strengthening cyber security and safety.
However, State President Quang underlined the urgent need to create profound changes in the awareness of all authorities from local to central levels about the importance of cyber security and safety, considering it an urgent, regular and long-term task of the whole political system and people under the leadership of the Party and the management of the State.
The capacity of ensuring cyber security and safety of all levels, sectors, agencies, organizations and businesses must be further improved to timely deal with cyber risks and attacks.
Continued improvements should be made to the current legal system, in which responsibilities of agencies, organizations, businesses and individuals should be clearly defined.
The State should enhance management over press and publication activities, develop cultural standards for people to publish information on the Internet, and consolidate manpower in the domain of cyber security and safety.
The State President also called for expanding international cooperation and joining international conventions and agreements on cyber security and safety in line with the guidelines of the Party and policies and law of the State.
