Hanoi (VNA) – The Ministry of Information andCommunications (MIC) on November 30 launched a management support platform to assist agencies and organisations in ensuring safety of their information systems.

The MIC’s Authority ofInformation Security, which developed the platform, said there are currently more than456,690 computer addresses (IP) in Vietnam located in a virus-infected network(Botnet), while only 63% of information systems of State agencies and organisationshave been approved for safety at different levels.

Addressing the launching ceremony, held within the VietnamCyber Security Day 2023, MIC Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung said the launching of the management support platform for informationsystem safety is an important milestone in ensuring cybersecurity in general as well as information security at each levelin particular, thus contributing to promoting the comprehensive digitaltransformation in management over information security, he said.

According to the MIC, each ministry, sector and localitywill have an administrative account to use the platform.

Information and data of each agency are managed separately,confidentially, ensuring that information and data of agencies cannot be seenby others.

Along with allowing the submission and approval of dossiers on information safety level,the platform also supports database management, providing statistical chartsand real-time online measurements.

Particularly, the platform also reports problems andrequirements that each information system has not met according to the law, enablingmanagement agencies at different levels to know and fix them.

After the platform is in stable operation, the MIC will gatherinformation and data from the platform to report to the Government and PrimeMinister serving the evaluation and ranking of information system security performanceat different levels in ministries, sectors and localities./.
