Hanoi: The Vietnamese government has proposed assigning the Ministry of Public Security to manage Internet Protocol (IP) address identification to ensure data security and cybersecurity, local daily VnExpress reported Friday.

The proposal is part of the draft Law on Cybersecurity submitted to the ongoing session of the 15th National Assembly (NA) of Vietnam on Friday.

Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang said the draft law builds on the 2018 Cybersecurity Law, retaining 21 articles while revising and supplementing nine others, Xinhua News Agency reported.

The amendments focus on ensuring data security, assigning responsibility for IP address identification, and establishing mechanisms for specialised cybersecurity protection forces, he said.
