A highlight in the event is international seminars slated for 17 November in HCM City and 2 December in Ha Noi.

At the seminars, the association will release a report on information security in the country over the past year and the 2016 Viet Nam Information Security Index.

The Ministry will also issue its assessment of the domestic and global information security situation and introduce orientations for information technology and information security development.

Mr Nguyen Huy Dung, Deputy Director of the Authority, said the seminar organisers will select high-quality information security services in 2016. The results will be announced next June.

During the annual event, roundtable workshops will take place with a focus on policy reforms and technology innovation in information security.
