Dang Hoang Minh and a degree in international security

Sitting in front of me is a slim, skinny guy, but what he achieved during the course of decades of learning passion is not "thin" at all.

Overseas trip "to life"

A little hesitant and humble in the way of contact, Dang Hoang Minh slowly told me about the arduous steps on the way to world-class.

In 1994, when graduating from the Electronic University of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, the 22-year-old boy thought that with a degree in electronics, if he learned more information technology, it would be more helpful for task. So, Dang Hoang Minh returned to the package to continue his entrance to the Computer Science Department (Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology). Park and continue learning. When I graduated, Minh was immediately admitted to Quantic Software Company with a good salary and also a security company of another company.

In 2000, the headquarters of the European parent company he worked for lacked serious personnel to prepare for the assessment of the computer system to deal with the Y2K incident. Recruitment everywhere they eventually turned to Vietnam to find talent. Dang Hoang Minh was nominated. After undergoing tests, he was officially "exported" and worked for SpaceBel Company, a satellite writing software company of the European Aerospace Agency.

Minh said: " The work there is not that hard but requires careful care. Working for 10 months in strict disciplinary atmosphere, the computer system does not encounter any problems. Parent company Before returning home, a nearby hospital asked me to stay and sign a 5-year contract, but I refused. The quick and neat working style of foreign colleagues and a habit . no nap to spend time working ".

About the country, there was a stable job, but he did not stop with that knowledge. During the daytime, Minh learned more at night and only two years later obtained security certifications MCSE and Comptia Security +. Having more qualifications, Minh found a place in the job of teaching informatics at night.

Plate with international security

The work goes by, it is said that the young engineer who is associated with the system security profession and the IT teacher every night. But his greedy nature made him find himself unable to stop there. Minh said: " In the past, security issues were not paid attention because the risks were very low. But today, most companies and organizations are eager to seek expert security systems to help them protect. important information to ensure the survival and fierce competition in the market. Vietnam is about to integrate, so its level must reach international level . "

Thinking so, Minh was determined to find himself a degree certified by world organizations. Minh decided to resign from his evening teaching job, concentrating on studying books to take the CISSP certificate, the most prestigious degree in the world today about security, which can help the company implement security plans. carry out risk analysis, find solutions for security and asset protection, computer systems, and data on it.

Dang Hoang Minh said: " I have found out in Vietnam that there is no center for training and organizing CISSP exam, so I have to study and register for the exam abroad. On June 24 last, I have to Only a pack of towels to Malaysia to take the exam See the introduction to know that Vietnam only has a few people with this certificate, but almost all of them have to pass the exam to pass the second time. I am troubled by the exam questions that are not related to any product or vendor, which means there are no questions regarding Windows 2000, Cisco, Unix, Linux, Checkpoint. . but mainly ask about the experience of handling, struggling for 6 hours with 250 multiple-choice questions, no lunch break, I have also completed my test nh. A few days later, said his message bean ".

Having been awarded with honors, Dang Hoang Minh was immediately invited to collaborate with many software companies. Minh chose Antra, one of the top five software outsourcing companies in Vietnam as the Director of Information Systems and IT department management of 12 people. Minh's daily job is to set up security policies, design and operate the system, ensure the continuous operation of the system even when the problem occurs.

Busy with work, Minh still happily said: " I really want to share my knowledge and experience with everyone, and in the upcoming plan, Minh will still take the time to delve deeper into the system and security solution ".
