evsjv‡`k †M‡RU, AwZwi³, gvP© 11, 2014 9715 Action 6: National Culture of Cybersecurity The Action focuses on the need to raise awareness about cyber threats and the role all relevant stakeholders must play to secure their part of cyberspace. Many cyber threats materialize due to insecure user activities. The users could be end users or system administrators. A lack of awareness coupled with a general lack of skilled cybersecurity professionals increases the likelihood that attackers would trick users into performing insecure activities. On the contrary, user awareness helps create a cybersecurity culture that in turn reduces the likelihood and impact of cyber attacks. This Cybersecurity Strategy identifies the following major activities: • Promotion of a national awareness programme to empower end users – at home or general workforce – to secure their own cyberspace-linked systems; • Implementation of a cybersecurity awareness programme for government systems that contain classified data; • Encouraging cybersecurity culture development in business enterprises; • Adding cybersecurity awareness to the national education curriculum as a way of spreading knowledge to pupils and their relatives; • Engaging civil society in outreach to children and individual users; • Promotion of private-sector support for professional cybersecurity certifications; Nations are increasingly dependent on complex systems and information technology. In many cases, information and communications technologies (ICT) vital to national and economic security are subject to disruption from a number of causes, either originating from within or outside the nation. Leaders in government and private industry are increasingly confronted with uncertainty about cyber risk and vulnerabilities. This uncertainty stems from the complexity and interconnectivity of evolving technology used to support critical systems. To ensure security and economic vitality, nations must manage cyber security in accordance with their own economic, social, and political considerations. †gvt bRiæj Bmjvg (DcmwPe), DccwiPvjK, evsjv‡`k miKvwi gy`ªYvjq, †ZRMuvI, XvKv KZ…©K gyw`ªZ| kvn&-B-Avjg cv‡Uvqvix, fvicÖvß DccwiPvjK, evsjv‡`k dig I cÖKvkbv Awdm, †ZRMuvI, XvKv KZ…©K cÖKvwkZ| web site: www.bgpress.gov.bd
