Bangladesh — Cyber Threat Profile
Bangladesh is expanding its national cybersecurity framework alongside rapid digitalization of government services, finance, and telecommunications infrastructure. Strategic priorities include protecting banking systems, national data repositories, and critical information infrastructure from cybercrime and espionage. The country faces frequent financially motivated attacks as well as periodic state-linked intelligence collection efforts. Institutional development focuses on legislative reform, national CERT capability expansion, and workforce training initiatives. International partnerships and regional cooperation mechanisms are playing an increasing role in strengthening Bangladesh's cyber defense maturity and operational readiness.- National CERT/CSIRT: BGD e-Gov CIRT
