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.
