The National Cyber Security Agency (Bengali:জাতীয় সাইবার সুরক্ষা এজেন্সি) is the apex advisory body responsible for coordinating national cybersecurity efforts in Bangladesh. Established under the Cyber Security Ordinance 2025, the council oversees the formulation and implementation of cybersecurity policies, strategies, and plans to protect critical information infrastructure, public services, and national security from cyber threats.[1][2][3]
History
The origins of the National Cyber Security Council trace back to the Digital Security Act 2018, which established the National Digital Security Council (NDSC) as the primary body for digital security coordination.[4]
In 2023, the Cyber Security Act replaced the 2018 Act, renaming and expanding the council's mandate to the National Cyber Security Council (NCSC), emphasizing cybersecurity over broader digital security.[5] The Act aimed to address deficiencies in citizen protection and align with evolving cyber threats.[6]
Following political changes in 2025, the Cyber Security Ordinance 2025 was promulgated on May 21, repealing the 2023 Act and establishing the current framework for the NCSC.[7] This ordinance integrated lessons from previous legislation and responded to criticisms of repressive elements in prior laws.[8]
Bangladesh's broader cybersecurity evolution includes the National Cybersecurity Strategy 2021–2025, which laid the groundwork for coordinated national efforts.[9]
Members
The NCSC consists of 25 members, including:[10]
- Chair: Prime Minister (Tarique Rahman)
- Ministers of relevant ministries (e.g., Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology; Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs)
- Governor of Bangladesh Bank
- Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister
- Inspector General of Police
- Secretaries from key divisions (e.g., Posts and Telecommunications, Information and Communication Technology, Public Security)
- Chairman, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission
