Colonel Huynh Ngoc Liem informed that the program was organized in a practical manner, closely aligned with the actual operation of the province's information systems. A highlight was the live-fire attack and defense exercise on a real information system, conducted while the province's systems were still operating normally. This was an opportunity for the province's technical staff to hone their skills in handling real-world situations and improve their ability to coordinate incident response in the context of increasingly sophisticated and unpredictable cyberattacks .

Conducting drills in a real-world environment helps assess detection and response capabilities and refine inter-agency coordination procedures in incident handling.

Prior to the opening ceremony, the rescue and defense teams participated in live-fire exercises on a real system, which took place from December 8th to 10th. These exercises in a real environment helped assess their detection and response capabilities and refine inter-agency coordination procedures in handling incidents .

At the opening ceremony, Vice Chairman of the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Ngoc Phuc acknowledged and highly appreciated the proactive efforts of the Provincial Cybersecurity Subcommittee, with the Provincial Police as its core, in advising and developing the 2025 training and exercise program with a bold, substantive, and practical approach.

The comrade emphasized that cybersecurity is a long-term, continuous task with no end point. Organizing attack and defense drills on real information systems, while the province's systems are still operating normally, is a very new and difficult but necessary approach. It demonstrates a willingness to confront existing shortcomings and test real capabilities, thereby helping the province accurately identify weaknesses in technology, processes, and personnel so that timely corrective action and improvement can be achieved.
