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.-

Hoa Binh province’s economy posted an impressive Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth rate of 12.67% in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 12.76% year-on-year increase, the highest rate recorded since the beginning of the current tenure, according to the provincial Statistics Office. This robust growth reflects years of strategic groundwork and sets a strong foundation for the province’s annual growth target of over 10%.
With a focus on cash crop farming with science - technology application and brand building, Lac Thuy district is gradually increasing production value, improving people's life quality, and laying the foundation for sustainable socio-economic development.
In recent years, the economic development model "Hoa Binh Earthworm Farm” run by Mr. Bui Van Dang in Co Giua Hamlet, My Thanh Commune (Lac Son district) has not only brought stable economic value but it is also environmentally friendly, helping to protect and reduce pollution, contributing to the construction of a green and sustainable agriculture.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
