The drill aims at raising the awareness and boosting practical skills of the human resources in state departments and agencies in HCMC regarding information security maintenance. The drill has such useful activities as preventing account takeover, fake email sending with content related to state management; encrypting data; stopping websites that exploit security vulnerabilities; preventing attacks on firewall systems.

The Vietnam Cybersecurity Emergency Response Teams/Coordination Center informed that in 2022, most local organizations and state agencies have carried out cyber security drills. They have timely detected their own security vulnerabilities and eliminated those weaknesses. Such useful drills are also used to evaluate the capacity of IT teams to respond to and devise corresponding solutions or develop suitable technologies to ensure cyber security for their organizations.
