Cyber ​​attacks are still threatening the operations of all agencies and organizations.

The 2024 national cyber security incident response network conference was held in Hanoi with the theme "Enhancing the resilience of information systems when incidents occur".

The conference created a forum for officials and experts from 230 member organizations of the national cyber security incident response network to discuss and share experiences in order to find effective solutions for their units. From there, improve the capacity of responding to information security incidents for the entire network.

The 2024 national combat exercise program has mobilized the participation of hundreds of experts from leading organizations and businesses in the field of information security.

At the Conference, Mr. Tran Quang Hung - Acting Director of the Department of Information Security , Ministry of Information and Communications , affirmed: "We are living in a period where cyber attacks threaten the operations of all agencies, organizations and more broadly, the entire nation.

The national strategy for cyber safety and security, proactively responding to challenges from cyberspace until 2025, with a vision to 2030, clearly defines the viewpoint of "Proactively responding early and from afar to risks, challenges, and activities that harm national sovereignty , interests, and security in cyberspace and national network information security".

The representative of the Information Security Department also emphasized that responding to network information security incidents is a key and urgent activity to help agencies and organizations minimize damage, even when serious incidents occur.

Summarizing the network's activities in 2024, Mr. Le Cong Phu - Deputy Director of the Vietnam Cyberspace Emergency Response Center, said that this year, the Department of Information Security continues to promote many activities such as combat exercises, searching for threats inside the system, proactively preventing serious vulnerabilities in important information systems...

In addition to two international exercises and a national field exercise program, from the beginning of 2024 to November 20, the entire national cyber security incident response network with 38 members organized field exercises, including 3 ministries, branches; 28 localities and 7 organizations and enterprises. As a result, 240 security vulnerabilities were discovered, a 60% decrease compared to 2023.

The fact that the number of security vulnerabilities discovered in this year's combat exercises has decreased compared to last year shows that units and system management agencies are paying more attention and implementing better measures to prevent information security vulnerabilities in their systems.

The year 2024 also recorded positive results from the shift of state management of incident response to the digital environment.

For example, the IRLab information security incident coordination and handling support platform has been used by 1,164 units after 2 years of launch; helping to shorten the incident coordination and handling time from 3 days to half a day.

However, many units have not yet strictly complied with the handling of warnings from the national coordinating agency; many common security vulnerabilities still exist in the application system but the units have not fixed them; many unsafe systems are still put into use...
