HCM CITY — Experts have emphasised the need for “robust measures” and “enhanced authentication systems” to effectively combat the increasing cyberthreats at the 2023 VNNIC Internet Conference held in HCM City on Friday. Nguyễn Hồng Thắng, director of the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (VNNIC), proposed the concept of an “Internet of Trust,” which emphasises robust measures and enhanced authentication systems to ensure cybersecurity.
