The 4th industrial revolution with the rapid advancement of the cyber network and digital technology has brought about great changes.

Along with tremendous benefits, countries are now facing with cyber war, cyber spying, cyber attacks, cyber criminals, and many other complex new issues.

Vietnam, said to be among the 5 countries which are most at risk of cyber attacks, is taking steps to protect itself.

For several years now, political subversives and cyber criminals have stepped up network attacks to collect State secrets and other information or to hijack or sabotage the information network.

Subversives have leveraged the Internet, especially social networking sites, using sophisticated methods and tricks to create internal dissension, harm national interests and undermine national security.

Ngo Tuan Anh, BKAV Vice Chairman in charge of Cyber Security, said, “There are a growing number of cyber criminals, social network members, online services, and virtual societies. Bad people have steadily increased their malicious and harmful penetration. Not only Vietnam, but all countries have to face such threats.”
