Vietnam sets course to train 10,000 cybersecurity specialists by 2030
The national plan aims to strengthen digital security, develop domestic technologies and expand the country’s global cybersecurity capacity
Vietnam has announced a strategic target to train and deploy 10,000 highly qualified cybersecurity specialists by 2030 as part of efforts to reinforce national digital security and promote technological independence, as reported by Vietnam News Agency (VNA), a partner of TV BRICS.
According to the roadmap, 2026 will mark a turning point in strengthening awareness of cybersecurity across government institutions and society. The government will build a modern, integrated national cybersecurity infrastructure and launch large-scale training initiatives to enhance information security awareness among officials and the public.
Vietnam also aims to maintain its position among the world’s top 20 countries in the Global Cybersecurity Index, compiled by the International Telecommunication Union. A central component of the strategy is technological self-reliance: by the end of the decade, cybersecurity products and services developed under the “Make in Vietnam” initiative are expected to account for more than half of the domestic market while also creating opportunities for exports that meet international standards.
Looking ahead to 2045, the plan envisages the formation of a sustainable and globally competitive national cybersecurity ecosystem supported by a new generation of digital experts. Responsibilities for implementing the strategy have been distributed among ministries and state agencies, including the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam, which will review legislation and strengthen regulatory mechanisms related to cybersecurity and data protection to support the country’s long-term digital transformation.
In the BRICS countries, governments are intensifying efforts to expand the digital skills of their workforce, with large-scale training programmes in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and advanced technologies.
According to ANTARA, Indonesia plans to train 15,000 engineers in semiconductor design. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said the initiative will enable Indonesian specialists to develop advanced chip design skills and contribute to the creation of next-generation semiconductors. The government has allocated US$150 million to support the development of a national semiconductor ecosystem and six domestic chip designs in areas such as automotive technology, the Internet of Things and data centres, while universities will help train future specialists.
Meanwhile, China plans to provide subsidised vocational training to more than 10 million people in 2026, focusing on sectors such as the low-altitude economy, new energy vehicles, artificial intelligence and elderly care. According to the officials, the country is developing a lifelong vocational training system to support workers at different career stages and strengthen links between education and industry, reports China Daily, a partner of TV BRICS. Over 20 provinces have already introduced business-led training platforms that connect skills development with employment opportunities.
Brazil has announced 25,000 additional places in a nationwide cybersecurity training programme under the Hackers do Bem initiative, coordinated by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of Brazil, according to Agência Brasil. Launched in January 2024, the programme has already certified more than 36,000 participants and offers training from introductory courses to specialised modules, including practical laboratory work and a six-month technological residency. The initiative is open to students, IT professionals and individuals changing careers, contributing to the development of a skilled and inclusive digital workforce in the country.
