The Government has recently issued Decree No. 329/2026/NĐ-CP, providing detailed regulations on cybersecurity protection forces. A highlight of the decree is the introduction of preferential policies and talent attraction schemes aimed at specialized personnel in the field.
Under the decree, the specialized cybersecurity force is defined as the "core force," stationed within the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense in accordance with the Law on Cybersecurity and other relevant legal frameworks.
Their primary responsibilities include advising on policies and legislation regarding cybersecurity, data security, personal data protection, and strategic technology projects. They are also tasked with the state management of cybersecurity, data security, and personal data protection as prescribed by law.
Personnel on the permanent payroll of these specialized units, or those recruited under talent attraction programs, will receive additional monthly support in addition to their standard salary, allowances, and other statutory benefits.
The support is categorized into three levels:
Level 1, an additional allowance of up to 100% of the current base salary for those performing professional and technical duties within the specialized cybersecurity force.
Level 2, an allowance of up to 200% of the current base salary for individuals directly involved in strategic consulting for cybersecurity or strategic technology projects. This level also applies to those performing tasks requiring highly specialized expertise or those organizing training and coaching for cybersecurity protection.
Level 3, an allowance of up to 300% of the current base salary for personnel directly researching, developing, or mastering strategic technologies and products, or new technologies that directly impact national security. This highest tier also covers individuals developing breakthrough technological solutions, models, or strategic projects; those performing tasks with exceptional secrecy requirements or extreme intensity; and those managing 24/7 emergency responses or duties with a significant impact on national security and social order.
