Speaking at the seminar, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Dinh Do Thi, Deputy Head of the Cybersecurity Department (A05, Ministry of Public Security ), stated that dependence on foreign technology is currently one of the three direct threats to national security and social order. Therefore, the State is orienting towards encouraging the development of self-reliance in cybersecurity technology, especially in the production and testing of digital equipment and network services and applications.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Ai Viet, Director of the Institute of Technology and Education for Newly Created Intelligence, believes that in the long term, self-reliant products are extremely important. Besides increasing budgets and providing cybersecurity awareness training for leaders of large corporations, companies, organizations with sensitive data, and especially banks, there needs to be a policy requiring organizations to have cybersecurity policies, including a cybersecurity architecture. Within this architecture, any solution must have a domestic defense layer. While not as strong as imported solutions, it will overcome the weaknesses of foreign defense layers.
From a business perspective, Mr. Tran Quoc Chinh, Vice Chairman of CMC Group and General Director of CMC Cyber Security, believes that national cybersecurity standards, technical regulations, and evaluation and ranking criteria should be issued soon. Along with the law, national technical standards and regulations (TCVN, QCVN) should be issued simultaneously for each group of cybersecurity products and services. This will create a legal basis for testing, certification of conformity, and system inspection and assessment before operation.
Mr. Nguyen Minh Duc, Chairman of the Cybersecurity Services Club and CEO of CyRadar Company, believes that the 2025 Cybersecurity Law is not only a tool to protect digital sovereignty but also an economic driving force for Vietnamese cybersecurity businesses.
The bill introduces a policy prioritizing the use of domestic products and services, establishing cybersecurity as a strategic industry and market-oriented for domestic businesses. It also stipulates that the budget allocated to cybersecurity protection in government agencies must be at least 10% of the total budget for information technology projects.
In addition, the bill also creates conditions to encourage research and development (R&D), enhance self-reliance from product and solution manufacturing to service provision, aiming to build a stronger, more innovative, and self-reliant Vietnamese cybersecurity community.
According to Mr. Vu Ngoc Son, Head of the Research, Consulting, Technology Development and International Cooperation Department of the National Cybersecurity Agency (NCA), the draft Law on Cybersecurity 2025 is a major step forward for Vietnam in building a legal system to protect cyberspace – a space that is increasingly having a profound impact on all aspects of socio-economic life. When passed, the draft law will create a modern, unified, flexible legal framework that is consistent with international practices and trends, thereby enhancing defense capabilities, ensuring data security and digital sovereignty against cyber threats; reducing dependence on foreign technology, promoting national cybersecurity technology self-reliance; and paving the way for the Vietnamese cybersecurity ecosystem and industry to develop more strongly.
