The Cybersecurity Law 2025, which is expected to be submitted to the National Assembly for consideration during its year-end sitting in Hanoi last this year, said Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Ba Son, deputy director of the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention (A05).

Speaking at an annual meeting of the National Cybersecurity Association in Hanoi on April 11, Son noted that the merger is to ensure unified and consistent state management of cybersecurity, especially after the responsibility for ensuring network information safety was transferred from the Ministry of Information and Communications (now merged into the Ministry of Science and Technology) to the Ministry of Public Security.

According to the security officer, 54 legal documents need amendments, supplements, or consolidation, including decrees and circulars relating to cybersecurity and data protection.

Priority will be given to the most critical legal documents, he said at the meeting.

The Cybersecurity Law 2025 will be developed using a streamlined legislative process and will include a unified decree on administrative penalties, aiming to simplify enforcement and enhance legal effectiveness, he said.

The A05 representative also revealed that lawmakers will also revise and update technical standards and norms for cybersecurity, including renaming and reclassifying existing standards to reflect the new management structure.
