Which is a problem, because local orgs are leaking data and shadowy traders are cashing in
Vietnam’s Ministry of Information and Communications has admitted the nation has a vast shortfall of infosec pros.statistics indicating"approximately 3,600 personnel [are] working in information security nationwide, meeting only ten percent of the actual demand."
That deficit has become problematic, because the Ministry has also identified increased sales of personal information. Đỗ Hải Anh, deputy head of Vietnam's Information Security Authority, an agency of the Ministry, said data trading activities were typically conducted within closed social media groups. A recent wave of transactions involves"the use of chatbots and transactions through channels and accounts on Telegram, retailing individual personal data."
"This indicates that the buying and selling of personal data has become very prevalent, carrying new risks," she said. The Authority has blamed those heightened risks on lax security and suggested that other agencies need to strengthen their data protection regimes. The org also plans to inspect and audit private organizations overseen by the Ministry – meaning social media outfits, telcos, and postal services can expect some polite inquiries.The Ministry's statement is, however, silent on how Vietnam can find the 30,000-plus infosec pros it needs to improve local resilience.
