On Dec. 10, 2025, the 15th National Assembly passed a new Cybersecurity Law, set to take effect on July 1, 2026. Drafted by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), the law consolidates and replaces the 2018 Cybersecurity Law and the 2015 Law on Information Security.<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 statute introduces new elements to Vi\u1ec7t Nam\u2019s system of online governance, including language that for the first time references the development of a national firewall system. Point d, Clause 2, Article 10 states that authorities will \u201cstudy the development of a national firewall system,\u201d marking the first appearance of such terminology in Vietnamese legislation.<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n<p>Further details emerged roughly&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thevietnamese.org\/2026\/03\/new-draft-reveals-the-ministry-of-public-securitys-expanding-cybersecurity-firewall\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Draft Reveals the Ministry of Public Security\u2019s Expanding Cybersecurity Firewall https:\/\/thevietnamese.org\/2026\/03\/new-draft-reveals-the-ministry-of-public-securitys-expanding-cybersecurity-firewall\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-01&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":218935,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thevietnamese.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/02_03_2026-Vietnam-briefing-TVM.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-218934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218934"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218934"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218934\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":218936,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218934\/revisions\/218936"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
