<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nLeaders and delegates press the launch button for the Security Operations Center (SOC)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n The Soc Trang SOC is part of the \u201cEstablishment and Operation of the Soc Trang Provincial Security Operations Center\u201d project \u2014 a key initiative aligned with the province\u2019s digital transformation agenda. It supports the strategic vision of Resolution 57-NQ\/TW, which emphasizes the role of science, technology, innovation, and IT in modern governance. The project features a fully integrated infrastructure and specialized software suite to meet advanced cybersecurity monitoring, threat detection, and response technical standards. It was completed and put into operation on schedule before May 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n As Soc Trang accelerates its digital transformation, the province has deployed several large-scale IT systems, including an e-government service portal, an Intelligent Operations Center (IOC), a population data management platform, and various internal management applications across departments. However, these developments have increased the risk of cyberattacks, particularly at the commune, district, and administrative unit levels, where network infrastructure remains fragmented and lacks proper security investment. The Provincial Data Integration Center \u2014 housing core IT systems \u2014 is a potential target for hackers. Meanwhile, the shortage of skilled cybersecurity personnel and incident response tools remains a pressing challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n The SOC investment is a crucial step in equipping Soc Trang to actively monitor, detect, and respond to cyber threats in real time.<\/span><\/p>\n Operating 24\/7, the SOC enables continuous surveillance of the provincial government\u2019s entire IT system, allowing rapid identification of anomalies, containment of incidents, and data integrity and availability protection. It safeguards both the Provincial Data Center and endpoint systems across administrative offices. As a core technological pillar, the SOC secures the province\u2019s digital transformation achievements \u2014 from e-government to smart city infrastructure \u2014 amid an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n This project also supports the implementation of Directive No. 14\/CT-TTg (June 7, 2019) issued by the Prime Minister, calling for strengthened national cybersecurity. It reflects Soc Trang\u2019s proactive role in building a secure, resilient digital government and improving Vietnam\u2019s cybersecurity readiness on the global stage.<\/span><\/p>\n
