About NRD Bangladesh
Bangladesh’s new economy, largely based on the development of IT industry, is expected to improve the socio-economic condition and livelihood of people. Therefore, the government has been working to create the conditions for the businesses and citizens to act in a secure and non-toxic digital environment. As the country has been progressing with digitalisation and smart solutions, Bangladesh has also focused on strengthening cybersecurity resilience of various national objects and institutions.
