Vietnam’s cyber risk environment is becoming more demanding for businesses. Official reporting indicates that Vietnamese organizations faced an estimated 659,000 cyberattacks in 2024, with 46.15% of surveyed entities reporting at least one attack and 14.59% reporting ransomware incidents. In parallel, Vietnam’s legal framework now places clearer emphasis on cybersecurity knowledge, staff awareness and training.
The Law on Cybersecurity No. 116/2025/QH15, adopted on 10 December 2025 and effective from 1 July 2026, includes an explicit article on the dissemination of cybersecurity knowledge. It states that the State promotes cybersecurity knowledge nationwide and encourages cooperation to implement education and awareness initiatives, while also assigning ministries, sectoral authorities, local authorities and organizations specific responsibilities for organizing such dissemination. The same law also requires certain personnel directly administering and operating Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5 information systems in authorities, organizations and enterprises to receive in-depth cybersecurity training and certificates, unless already trained in cybersecurity majors.
For companies operating in Vietnam, cybersecurity training is therefore not just a good practice. It is increasingly part of a robust compliance, governance and operational resilience posture. MAET helps organizations turn these legal expectations into a practical and scalable e-learning program for employees, managers and operational teams.
MAET’s program is designed to help companies in Vietnam:
Vietnamese law already contained training language before the 2025 reform. Under the Law on Cyberinformation Security No. 86/2015/QH13, “the managing body of an information system shall provide training in cyberinformation security knowledge and skills for managerial and technical staff members.” This gives a solid regulatory basis for formal cybersecurity training within organizations managing information systems.
The 2025 Cybersecurity Law goes further by expressly framing cybersecurity knowledge dissemination as a legal expectation and by mandating deeper training for certain operators of higher-level systems. This makes MAET’s program especially relevant for companies that want to combine operational awareness with compliance readiness.
On the data-protection side, Decree 13/2023/ND-CP also states that agencies, organizations and individuals shall disseminate knowledge and skills on personal data protection for awareness-raising. That strengthens the case for a joined-up awareness program covering both cybersecurity and secure handling of personal data.
