[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Plantynet announced on the 23rd that its subsidiary Vietnam corporation (hereinafter Plantynet Vietnam) will officially launch its internet harmful content filtering service nationwide in Vietnam.


Plantynet partnered with Vietnam's largest telecommunications company VNPT (Vietnam Post and Telecommunication) to carry out harmful information filtering projects in the two regions of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. This time, by expanding to a nationwide service, it plans to establish a foundation for sales and business expansion.


‘Greenet,’ which Plantynet Vietnam successfully launched nationwide this time, is an optimal harmful content filtering service that can build a clean and safe online environment. It was jointly developed with VNPT according to local requirements. It boasts convenience by blocking more than 9 million harmful websites without separate software installation and a higher blocking rate through automatic database updates.


In June, the Vietnamese government approved a program (Decision No. 830/QD-TTg) to safely protect children from online harmful content until 2025. Demand for Plantynet’s ‘Greenet’ service, which can block harmful adult content, gambling, violence, suicide, and more, is expected to increase.


The program includes technical measures such as the introduction of solutions to create a healthy online environment for children and adolescents, along with regular education conducted by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education. Vietnam, which was significantly affected by the spread of COVID-19 in Southeast Asia and realized the importance of non-face-to-face culture and online education, decided to provide a healthy online learning and entertainment environment for its children and adolescents.


As a leading domestic internet and network security company, Plantynet plans to provide this nationwide service optimized for the local Vietnamese market based on its rich overseas service experience in Taiwan and Vietnam, striving to create a safe and healthy online environment. Furthermore, concerns about harmful internet content indiscriminately exposed to children and adolescents due to the expansion of online classes are not limited to domestic issues, so the company plans to actively pursue overseas markets as well.



Kim Hoojong, CEO of Plantynet, said, “Our efforts to proactively expand overseas business despite the difficult COVID-19 situation are bearing fruit,” and added, “We will strive to quickly establish a strong presence in the Vietnamese market, which has great growth potential, just like our Taiwanese corporation that has achieved stable and steady growth.”
