Nepal — Cyber Threat Profile

Nepal's cybersecurity posture remains underdeveloped, constrained by limited institutional capacity and fragmented governance structures. National cyber oversight is led by the Department of Information Technology, though incident response capabilities and technical workforce depth remain limited. Expanding digital services and financial technologies are increasing exposure to cybercrime, fraud, and ransomware. Legislative frameworks are evolving but enforcement capacity remains inconsistent. Nepal relies heavily on international technical assistance and regional partnerships to build foundational cyber resilience and incident response mechanisms.
