Eight businesses offer cyber-security operation center platforms, announced by the Ministry of Information and Communications.

The service platforms for Safety Operations Center (SOC) offers security solutions for online connectivity and information sharing in the process of national digital transformation.

According to Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Thanh Hung, cyber-security is vital for Vietnam, which is on its way to digital transformation, e-Government, e-business, and an e-society.

"The SOC service platforms will save time for ministries, agencies, as well as cities and provinces. They will contribute to developing the cybersecurity market, promote economic development, and encourage Vietnamese businesses to make investments in advanced technologies and solutions, thus gradually developing the ecosystem of 'Make in Vietnam' cybersecurity products", said Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hung.

At present, eight Vietnamese firms that satisfied the MIC’s requirements and conditions to provide information safety service platforms include Viettel Cyber Security, Information Security Centre of VNPT, network security center of BKAV, FPT IS, CMC Cyber Security, CyRadar, VNCS Global, and SAVIS.
