Bangladesh Cyber Threat Landscape Report 2020
Published on 29-Dec-2020 16:00:00
Cyber threat is a growing risk that is increasing every day. New threats are showing up to the horizon as well as old threats are evolving with time and technology regularly. With availability of hacking as a service and a lot of free tools to generate scripts as well as other threats automatically make this attack method wide open even for the novice. As we are living in an era of globalization, these evolving threats are also affecting Bangladesh equally. Each year BGD e-GOV CIRT publishes “Bangladesh Cyber Threat Landscape” report by collecting information from Critical Information Infrastructures. This year the format is a little different. We have collected the information from Critical Information Infrastructure, Government Agencies, Law Enforcing Agencies, Industry & Academia and based on their inputs preparing this document.
It's really necessary for nationwide cybersecurity to recognize evolving developments in cyber challenges and to recognize the future of cyber-attacks and allow successful responses to cybersecurity threats. Every year international organizations like ENISA as well as Industry Service Providers publish a lot of Threat Landscapes. However, each nation has its own eccentricities, and in order to develop the requisite cyber capabilities and successfully minimize cyber threats, it is important to recognize the national cyber threat landscape based on local set of data. That’s where this effort comes into place. The national cyber threat landscape study of Bangladesh describes Bangladesh's top cyber threats, their interactions with threat agents, specific threat mechanisms used to initiate a particular threat and kill chain for it. Each incident category used by us is allocated to each cyberthreat.
