Global Cybersecurity Camp 2026 (GCC 2026) – an international training programme bringing together nearly 50 elite students from nine countries and territories – has officially commenced at the Nguyen Van Cu campus of VNUHCM–University of Science (HCMUS). The event marks the start of a week-long intensive training period aimed at strengthening global collaborative networks within the field of cybersecurity.

On the evening of 1 March 2026, the international cybersecurity training programme, Global Cybersecurity Camp 2026 (GCC 2026), was formally launched at the Nguyen Van Cu campus of HCMUS.

GCC 2026 gathers participants from nine countries and territories, including India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Romania, Singapore, Taiwan (China), Thailand, and Viet Nam. These individuals were selected from the GCC network to undergo rigorous training, with the dual objectives of enhancing professional expertise and fostering international connections in cybersecurity.

Global Cybersecurity Camp is a week-long training initiative hosted on a rotational basis by member countries within the network. Each year, approximately 50 outstanding students are chosen to participate in advanced training modules, collaborative group work, and the resolution of practical cybersecurity challenges.

On the morning of 2 March 2026, the official opening ceremony for GCC 2026 took place at Lecture Hall 1, HCMUS. Speaking at the event, Associate Professor Trần Minh Triết, Vice President of HCMUS, emphasised that as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and transboundary, the enhancement of international cooperation in training high-quality cybersecurity personnel is a vital necessity. Programmes such as Global Cybersecurity Camp do more than simply advance technical knowledge; these initiatives also promote the formation of a network of young professionals capable of coordinating efforts on a global scale.

Representing the co-organising body, Mr Nguyễn Lê Thành – Chairman of Verichains and founder of VNSecurity – shared a vision for connecting international security camp models. This strategy aims to build a specialised cybersecurity training ecosystem that meets global standards while remaining relevant to the practical development of the Asian region.

According to the programme schedule, from 2 to 6 March 2026, students will participate in an intensive week of training covering advanced topics such as malware analysis, reverse engineering, kernel fuzzing, offensive and defensive techniques, and threat intelligence analysis. These activities are designed to prioritise practical application, teamwork, and academic exchange.

By hosting GCC 2026, VNUHCM–University of Science (HCMUS) continues to affirm a leading role in promoting international cooperation and contributing to the cultivation of high-quality human resources in cybersecurity, meeting the demands of securing digital infrastructure amidst global digital transformation.
