• Develop mechanism to share information about cyber attacks, threats and
vulnerabilities with the public and non-governmental bodies locally and
globally;
• Where possible, it is advisable for units to have at least basic computer
forensic capacity. Such capacity will require software tools and additional
training.
Action 4: Public-Private Partnerships
The commercial sector owns and operates most of the critical infrastructure that
Bangladesh relies on home and abroad. Clearly, the Government alone cannot
secure cyberspace since it does not own or operate the infrastructure. Therefore,
the Government of Bangladesh should form meaningful partnership with the
private sector on cybersecurity. The National Cybersecurity Strategy requires the
Government of Bangladesh and its agents to consult the private sector in the
development, implementation and maintenance of regulation, cybersecurity
initiatives and policies. Cooperative relationships with the private sector are vital
because they:
• Facilitate the exchange of information on the development of new legislation
and regulation between stakeholders;
• Enable collaborative work and sharing of training courses that could help
alleviate the severe shortage of skilled cyber security professionals; and
• Enable real time exchange of information about cyber threats and
vulnerabilities
The communication channel is valuable for the BD-CIRT as the exchange
complements the stretched national incident detection and warning resources.
With private sector input, the Government shall also develop a coordinated
national strategy for participating in major international discussions that shape
policy in areas such as territorial jurisdiction, sovereign responsibility and the use
of cyberspace for war. Additionally, the Cybersecurity Coordinator or an equally
empowered party works with government departments and agencies, the private
sector and academia to formulate and coordinate Bangladesh’s international
cybersecurity positions. Thereafter, the ministries of Foreign Affairs should work
on improving international cooperation.
