Abstract: As Bangladesh rapidly adopts digital technologies, the country faces escalating cybersecurity threats that can undermine economic development and national security. This paper provides an up-to-date analysis of Bangladesh’s cybersecurity landscape, including emerging risks from sophisticated attacks, data breaches, and misinformation campaigns. It examines the regulatory frameworks governing cyberspace and key technologies like artificial intelligence, considering national policies as well as regional and global perspectives. The paper highlights innovative responses to cyber challenges, such as public-private partnerships (PPP), cyber security training programs, and the use of AI for threat detection. However, substantial gaps re- main in Bangladesh’s cyber defenses. The paper argues for a comprehensive, multi-stakeholder approach to cybersecurity capacity building. Specific recommendations include increasing investments in cyberinfrastructure, expanding cybersecurity education and training, developing effective legal frameworks, and fostering national and international cooperation. Adopting these coordinated strategies can help Bangladesh harness the benefits of digital transformation while safeguarding against intensifying cyber threats. We use OSINT and WebINT to justify our technical analysis.
