According to Statista's forecast, the world will have more than 7.5 billion internet users and more than 29 billion IoT devices by 2030. The explosion of internet connections will pose a huge challenge to internet infrastructure - the core infrastructure for connections in the digital age. To ensure that internet infrastructure can meet the requirements of the new context, infrastructure development needs to be built and oriented in a systematic way, with the goal of safety and sustainability.
From June 4 to 7, in Hanoi, Vietnam Internet Center (VNNIC - Ministry of Information and Communications ) organized the annual event VNNIC Internet Conference 2024 with the theme "Safe and sustainable internet infrastructure in the face of new technology development".
This is a forum for the expert community to discuss opportunities, challenges and directions for developing internet infrastructure in the new era, aiming to ensure meeting the development of internet services and new technologies in the context of the internet always changing and developing rapidly, internet infrastructure needs to change and improve.
VNNIC Internet Conference 2024 includes a series of workshops and conferences. Of which, 3 workshops are "Internet Security and Reliability" (held on June 4) for students; DNS Security (held on June 5 and 6) for technical staff in charge of DNS management/administration/operation at Departments of Information and Communications, IT units of ministries and branches; and IPv6 Security workshop (June 5 and 6) for technical staff, managers/administrators/network engineers of organizations and enterprises.
The main conference was held on the morning of June 7, focusing on issues of internet infrastructure safety and sustainability in the face of the development of new technologies with 3 thematic sessions. These are: (1) Internet infrastructure and new technologies; (2) Trust and safety in internet operations, (3) Asia- Pacific IPv6 Forum Council Meeting.
This year's event has the participation of many keynote speakers and world-leading experts in the field of the internet; attracting and connecting more than 400 leaders/CEOs and experts, internet engineers from units under the Ministry of Information and Communications, Departments of Information and Communications, agencies in charge of information technology of ministries, sectors as well as enterprises providing internet, mobile, Cloud, IDC, content services;...
Speaking at the conference, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Huy Dung said: Since officially connecting to the global internet in 1997, Vietnam's internet has grown rapidly, becoming larger in scale, faster in connection, and more modern in technology. From a single independent network, Vietnam's internet has now grown to nearly 1,000 networks with IP and independent network numbers connected to each other; the conversion rate to using new IPv6 internet addresses reached 60%, among the top 10 countries in the world.
To meet the digital transformation stage, Vietnam's digital infrastructure must have super-large capacity, super-wide bandwidth, be universal, sustainable, green, smart, open and secure. To meet the development of internet services and new technologies, Vietnam's internet infrastructure needs to change, improve, and be compatible with the development of new technologies, while still ensuring safety and sustainability.
With the theme "Safe and sustainable internet infrastructure in the face of new technology development", at the VNNIC Internet Conference 2024, Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung hopes that organizations, businesses, international and domestic experts will discuss, connect, and cooperate, thereby identifying solutions towards developing a modern, smart, and safe Vietnamese internet infrastructure, which is the core foundation for a popular, sustainable, green, smart, open, and safe Vietnamese internet, bringing values to users and to the whole society.
The Ministry of Information and Communications hopes that organizations, businesses, and units will discuss goals and directions to expand domestic internet connections through peering connections, connections to internet exchange points (IXP), and to the national internet exchange point VNIX; expand regional and international internet connections, especially developing submarine optical cables, making Vietnam one of the connection centers and regional data centers.
The Ministry also hopes that delegates will discuss solutions to promote the development of fast, strong, and smart internet infrastructure; create, manage, and exploit a lot of valuable data; develop new technologies, apply new solutions (5G, IoT, Cloud, IPv6+, AI), ensure resources (IPv6) for the digital environment; promote users to the digital environment, while bringing values and protecting users in the digital environment.
Infrastructure determines the development of technology, platforms and services. The Internet wants to develop intelligently and safely, it needs to be solved from the core platform. Therefore, we need to ensure the safety, reliability and sustainability of the Internet through solutions, technology development and ensuring the safety of the Internet infrastructure, connection safety, safety for key infrastructures such as DNS, VNIX.
The VNNIC Internet Conference 2024 event created an opportunity for the Vietnamese internet community to learn, connect, and cooperate with experts, organizations, and leading internet and ICT businesses in the world.
