Hanoi will construct and put into operation a Municipal Cybersecurity Center to ensure monitoring capabilities and readiness against cyber threats, while enabling the sharing of national cybersecurity surveillance data, with completion scheduled for the second quarter of 2027.

This initiative is a core part of Plan No. 149/KH-UBND regarding the assurance of cybersecurity, information security, and data safety within Hanoi's political system, signed and issued by Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Truong Viet Dung on April 11.

According to the plan, the city aims to review and remediate 100% of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the information systems of the city's Party and State agencies, Vietnam Fatherland Front, and other socio-political organizations by 2026.

The plan also ensures that national cryptographic infrastructure operates stably to facilitate the exchange of state secrets from the city level down to 100% of wards and communes.

Furthermore, Hanoi will strengthen discipline in State management of cybersecurity, implementing governance based on risk assessment and compliance with technical standards and regulations. The city will promote the application of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data analysis, and smart monitoring for the early detection and timely handling of cyber threats. This marks a transition toward a proactive defense model utilizing modern encryption solutions to protect critical data, state secrets, and government transactions.

The municipal government encourages research and development to master next-generation cybersecurity technologies, enhancing technological autonomy and fostering a strong national cybersecurity industrial ecosystem.

By 2030, the city aims to train and build a team of high-level cybersecurity experts capable of meeting both domestic and international demands.

By 2045, Hanoi intends to develop a team of leading experts and world-class digital scientists who master core technologies, alongside the development of modern cybersecurity and digital infrastructure, innovation centers, and high-tech industrial parks.
