Cyber security handbook for women leaders

The book provides businesswomen and female leaders of enterprises and organizations with basic knowledge on information safety on the internet and cyber security, prevention measures, how to detect cyber threats, and necessary actions in response to cyber attacks.

The launch formed part of a program that supports women-led enterprises, associations, societies, clubs and social organizations, and businesswomen to safely use and exploit information and data on cyber space. 

This program is under UN Women's regional project "Women, Peace and Cyber security: Promoting Women's Peace and Security in the Digital World".

In her remarks, acting Interim UN Women Representative in Viet Nam Caroline Nyamayemombe said that this handbook has a very wide scope of use and access. 

By equipping women leaders in the country with specialized knowledge and necessary resources, it is expected to actively contribute to common efforts in empowering women so that they can respond quickly and confidently on cyber space.

At the event, speakers talked about opportunities and challenges to women-owned businesses in the digital era, information safety and cyber security for businesses in general and women-owned ones in particular, along with measures to assist those firms to improve their digital transformation capacity and ensure cyber security./.
