Speaking at the opening of the conference, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Social Security Pham Luong Son affirmed that information security is a very important task, especially in the face of the current trend of the 4.0 industrial revolution. Reality shows that there are more and more cyber attacks, seriously affecting the management systems of industries.

Recognizing this reality, in recent times, the Vietnam Social Insurance sector has made many efforts to innovate and apply high technology to perform its tasks. This conference aims to continue to raise awareness, responsibility, and professional skills of civil servants and employees in the social insurance sector in ensuring information security.
