NATIONAL
CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bangladesh
requires
reliable
physical
and
information
communication
technologies (ICTs). The two types of infrastructure jointly support essential
services in sectors such as communications, emergency services, energy,
finance, food, government, health, transport and water. Therefore, to achieve our
economic security and democratic objectives, we require reliable physical and
digital infrastructure. Physical assets increasingly depend upon the reliable
functioning of the digital infrastructure or critical information infrastructure (CII) to
deliver services and to conduct business. Consequently, significant disruption to
CII could have an immediate and debilitating impact that reaches far beyond the
ICT sector and affects the ability of a nation to perform its essential missions in
multiple sectors. Therefore, critical information infrastructure protection (CIIP) is
everyone’s responsibility.
This document is “The National Cybersecurity Strategy of Bangladesh”. It is one
of the long-term measures for protecting our cyber world against security threats,
risks and challenges to national security. The Strategy addresses the country’s
national security strategy. The purpose of this document is to create a coherent
vision for 2021 keeping Bangladesh secure and prosperous by coordinating
government, private sector, citizens and international cyberspace defense efforts.
This National Cybersecurity Strategy outlines a framework for organizing and
prioritizing efforts to manage risks to our cyberspace or critical information
infrastructure. To achieve the aforesaid goals above, this Strategy significantly
raises the profile of cybersecurity within our governments and defines clear roles
and responsibilities. Cognizant of the shared nature of cyber vulnerabilities, this
Strategy also requires a public-private partnership to fix the potential vulnerability
of private sector-owned critical infrastructures in banking, utilities and
telecommunications sectors against cyber attacks.
