The GCI was launched in 2007 and reflects five pillars including legal, technical, organizational, capacity building, and co-operation. It combines 25 indicators into one benchmark measure to monitor the cybersecurity commitment of 193 ITU member states.

With its 50th position, Vietnam is classified as a country demonstrating high commitments in all five pillars of the index.

The Ministry of Information and Communications has implemented synchronous solutions to continue to improve the ranking, making the country jump 20 places in 2019 in the CGI. It is also building a strategy to make Vietnam one of the strong countries in terms of network security.

The ministry would propose to the Prime Minister to instruct ministries, localities and sectors to ensure information security at organizations, contributing to improving the ranking.
