Action 3: National Incident Management Capacity
Timely identification, communication and recovery from major cybersecurity
events and weaknesses affecting critical information infrastructure can often
mitigate the damage resulting from malicious cyberspace activity. Best practice
indicates that these efforts are most effective at national level because they
provide wider
participation in analysis,
warning,
information gathering,
vulnerability reduction, mitigation and recovery. Inevitably, the government needs
to work with the private sector to coordinate a national response because private
firms own the infrastructure and often have better skills. The government creates
legal and regulatory incentives to encourage critical infrastructure owners and
operators to ensure that their systems are resilient to attacks. This Strategy
identifies the following actions regarding cyber incident response:
• Build Bangladesh Computer Incident Response Team (BD-CIRT) at the
National Cybersecurity Council;
• Establish a public-private framework for responding to major cyber
incidents;
• Encourage development of business continuity and disaster recovery
capacity;
• Develop strategic and tactical cyber attack and vulnerability assessment
capacity;
• Encourage the development of private sector capacity to share status
information about the health of cyberspace;
• Coordinate processes for voluntary participation in the development of
national public-private continuity and contingency plans;
• Create a Cyber Warning and Information Network at Cybersecurity Council;
and
