Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has signed Decision No. 515/QD-TTg, dated March 30, 2026, approving a major scheme to enhance the operational capacity of the national cybersecurity force.

Looking toward 2030, Vietnam aims to break into the top 15 nations globally according to the Global Cybersecurity Index (ITU-GCI). To bolster its regional influence, the country will establish a Regional Training Center for cybersecurity and cybercrime prevention to enhance its leadership and capacity-building efforts within the area.

Human resource development is a central pillar of the strategy, with a goal of having at least 10,000 high-level cybersecurity experts by 2030, 20% of whom must meet international standards.

The scheme also mandates that 100% of specialized cybersecurity forces be fully deployed within the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of National Defense, various ministries, sectors, and provincial People's Committees, as well as agencies managing critical national security information systems.

Furthermore, the government aims for 90% of internet users to have access to cybersecurity awareness programs, skills training, and protective tools. Vietnam is committed to researching and mastering strategic cybersecurity technologies and developing a domestic ecosystem of products and services.

To ensure this autonomy, the State will select at least two organizations or enterprises to lead the development of each key cybersecurity product and platform.

Finally, the plan sets a target for 70% of ministries, sectors, local authorities, and critical national information systems to utilize strategic "Make in Vietnam" technology products by 2030.

By 2045, Vietnam aims to become a leading nation in the Asia-Pacific region for cybersecurity, possessing robust capabilities in defense, the suppression of cybercrime, and the neutralization of hostile forces. This vision seeks to firmly protect national digital sovereignty and safeguard all activities of the State, businesses, and citizens in cyberspace.

The plan envisions the cybersecurity industry becoming a spearhead economic-technical sector. A key target is to have at least three Vietnamese cybersecurity enterprises ranked among the world’s top 50 providers, specializing in the export of products, services, and technologies to the global market.
