The Role of International Collaboration inEnhancing Cybersecurity in Bangladesh Lessonsfrom Global Best Practices
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines the critical role of international collaboration in strengthening Bangladesh's cybersecurity capabilities as the country undergoes rapid digital transformation. While Bangladesh has made significant strides through initiatives like "Digital Bangladesh," it faces substantial cybersecurity challenges including rising cyber-attacks, limited expertise, and infrastructure vulnerabilities. The research analyzes global best practices in cybersecurity collaboration and identifies key challenges specific to Bangladesh, including technological gaps, resource constraints,and cultural barriers. The study offers strategic recommendations for enhancing Bangladesh's cyber resilience through international partnerships, emphasizing the importance of regional cooperation, capacity building, and participation in global cybersecurity initiatives. The findings suggest that by leveraging international collaboration effectively, Bangladesh can not only strengthen its national cyber defenses but also emerge as a regional leader in cybersecurity, supporting its broader digital development goals while contributing to global cybersecurity efforts.
