    The Vietnam Institute of Directors (VIOD) and the Association of CharteredCertified Accountants (ACCA) held a seminar titled ‘Cyber resilience for theboard of directors’ in Hanoi on August 16.

    According to attendees at the seminar, cyber threats are intensifying in Asia.Hackers are 80 percent more likely to attack organisations in Asia, whilenearly 80 percent of internet users in Asia have not received training on cybersecurity.

    Total economic losses are estimated to reach 1.75 trillion USD, accounting for7 percent of Asia Pacific’s gross domestic products (GDP).

    Cyber-attacks might lead to data privacy breaches and losses in confidentialinformation, reputation, customer trust, revenue and jobs, said Sharath Martin,regional policy consultant, ACCA ASEAN & ANZ (Australia – New Zealand).

    Damage caused by computer viruses caused economic losses of 12.3 trillion VND (540million USD) in Vietnam last year, according to a survey by the security firmBKAV.

    The country’s e-commerce growth was 35 percent annually.

    Ha Thu Thanh, VIOD’s chairman of the board of directors, said that networksecurity issues should become the top priority for most of business boards.

    Boards of directors should prioritise cyber security risks as an issue in riskmanagement, not just a technology problem, Thanh said.

    “Therefore, boards of directors should play a key role in studying cybersecurity risks associated with their businesses to know that if the preventionand detection of the risks in the businesses were controlled by the businesses’management systems or not,” Thanh emphasised.

    Sharath Martin pointed out key insights for boards of directors.

    Firstly, boards of directors and senior managers should bring cyber securityissues into all boardroom topics. The boards should also develop a cybersecurity strategy, he said.

    Secondly, the boards should address their cyber defensive frailties. Businessesshould have executives responsible for information security.

    Thirdly, he highlighted the speed of detection and recovery.

    Lastly, he said that businesses needed to ensure that the investments ininformation security must keep pace with technology adoption.

    Within the framework of the seminar, VIOD and ACCA also signed a Memorandum ofUnderstanding to increase the two sides’ co-operation in raising awareness andpromoting international corporate governance practices to become key factorsfor the sustainable development of Vietnamese enterprises.-VNS/VNA
