The plan also sets a goal for 90% of Internet users in the area to have access to awareness-raising activities, skills, and tools for ensuring cyber security; 100% of information systems using the state budget will fully implement cyber security assurance plans according to their assigned levels before being put into operation. Bac Ninh also encourages the use of "Make in Vietnam" cyber security products and services, ensuring that all cyber security products and services are inspected and evaluated before use as regulated.
