EVN joins the 2021 ASEAN-Japan cybersecurity drill

On 24 June 2021, the Vietnam Cybersecurity Emergency Response Teams/Coordination Center (VNCERT/CC), Information Security Authority (Ministry of Information and Communications) in collaboration with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) organized the 2021 ASEAN-Japan annual trans-national drill.

The EVN and EVNICT’s IT staff joined the drill in a video-connected location at EVN headquarters (Hanoi).

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, this year, the exercise was held in an online form. Vietnam Electricity (EVN) joined the event with 20 video-connected locations (at the headquarters of EVN, the corporations and units under EVN), in which, the cyber-security working team of the Information and Communication Technology Company (EVNICT) was the direct participant.

The 2021 ASEAN-Japan annual trans-national drill focused on "Coordination in dealing with cyber-attacks targeting state agencies through virtual private network  (VPN) vulnerabilities and preventing ransomware attacks on medical institutions", with drill scenarios elaborately built, based on reality and latest trends in technology and potential threats.

For EVN, this exercise has contributed to building, operating and ensuring smooth interaction between member units in sharing information in emergency response to cybersecurity incidents.
