The National Cybersecurity Center under the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention (A05) of the Ministry of Public Security has officially launched the “National Cybersecurity Command System.” This comprehensive solution was entirely researched, developed, and mastered by local experts.

Lieutenant Colonel Le Xuan Thuy, Director of the National Cybersecurity Center, noted that information systems are no longer isolated entities. They are now interconnected in both data and operations, a trend that aligns with the demands of digital transformation.

However, with increased connectivity comes greater risk. Although many enterprises currently offer platforms to support operational management, no single organization is in charge of linking and sharing information and knowledge across these systems.

According to A05 statistics, targeted cyberattacks on critical infrastructure often occur in campaigns rather than isolated incidents. Therefore, it is essential for organizations to exchange information and enhance early warning capabilities and mutual support during emergencies. On this foundation, the National Cybersecurity Center has developed the national cybersecurity incident response coordination platform.

Lieutenant Colonel Le Xuan Thuy emphasized that the system serves as a central hub, connecting incident response forces with relevant agencies and key infrastructure units, government bodies, and SOC (Security Operations Center) service providers nationwide.

Future versions of the platform will incorporate AI technologies to improve analytical capabilities and decision-making based on existing cybersecurity data combined with threat forecasting tools.

This integrated approach will create a unified coordination mechanism under the direction of specialized units within the Ministry of Public Security. Moreover, the system connects with policy analysis and alert agencies. For example, if abnormal cybersecurity risks are detected in sectors like healthcare or banking, early warnings can be issued to relevant organizations, enabling swift action.

Currently, the system has been integrated with various tools within the A05 ecosystem, including a knowledge base of cybersecurity threat data. This enhances early incident response and decision-making. The system monitors and compiles national cybersecurity statistics by connecting with all local monitoring units and SOC systems, helping to construct a comprehensive picture of the country’s cybersecurity landscape.

“As a national cybersecurity incident response coordination platform, inter-agency collaboration and structural adjustments will be regular and ongoing. Therefore, the platform must be designed to be flexible and adaptable to meet evolving requirements,” Le Xuan Thuy stated. “The system was initiated in 2024, and by July 1, 2025, A05 invited several local police departments to participate in testing. It will continue to expand to all ministries and agencies managing critical information systems, eventually supporting businesses and service providers that manage key national infrastructure.”

According to A05 representatives, upcoming versions of the system will feature AI-powered functions to enhance analytical and decision-making support, leveraging current threat intelligence combined with future cybersecurity forecasts.

Once fully connected to critical organizations and cybersecurity service providers, A05 will establish automated communication channels to instantly relay incident alerts from external monitoring systems without manual intervention. This will drastically reduce incident detection and response times.

The launch of the National Cybersecurity Command System marks a strategic step toward establishing a unified and secure digital space for Vietnam. It is expected to serve as a common protective shield for the nation’s cyberspace, promoting transparency, safety, and resilience. This initiative plays a crucial role in safeguarding digital sovereignty and preparing for emerging challenges in the online environment.
