Govt plans to set up cyber security dept
The government has planned to set up a separate “Cyber Security Department” to deal with the fast growing cyber crimes that have emerged as a threat to the national security and financial services.
The department will have a computer response incident team which will work as a trouble shooter to address the computer related cyber crime incidents.
“With the advancement of digitisation of financial system, introduction of various e-Services and e-Commerce the cyber crimes have emerged as a threat for ensuring uninterrupted online services,” Information and Communication (ICT) Secretary Md Nazrul Islam Khan told the news agency.
He said setting up of a separate cyber security department has become inevitable because of frequent cyber attacks on the websites and online system.
The ICT Division is making a proposal relating to establishment of a “Cyber Crimes Department” for submitting it to the relevant authorities, Khan added.
