http://english.vietnamnet.vn/tech/2008/10/806944/ VietNamNet Bridge 04/10/2008 Viet Nam faces a huge shortage of network security experts even as a string of hacking incidents has shown that computer security in the country is seriously flawed. Vo Do Thang, training manager at a center for network administration and network security, said while there are thousands of banks and brokerages, the number of experienced network security experts remains small. Even many bank branches lack network security personnel, he said. Nguyen Thanh Tu, manager of a network security company, said the shortage was in terms both of quality and numbers. The quality of training was less than optimum, he said. Ho Chi Minh City has only a handful of network security training centers like Athena Center, University of Natural Sciences, University of Technology, and Sai Gon Technology Training Center. This year there has been a clutch of hacking incidents. Hackers reportedly paralyzed thousands of websites in July, including PA Viet Nam, one of the country’s largest domain name suppliers. Techcombank’s website was hacked at the same time, unveiling serious breaches in its network security. __________________________________________________ Register now for HITBSecConf2008 - Malaysia!
