ABSTRACT

Following the fourth industrial revolution, the cyber world and cyber security have become inseparable parts of human lives. At the same time, the growing number of cyber threats compels a state to identify and protect its critical information infrastructure from possible cyber-attacks. This article aims at drafting a framework for Bangladesh’s Critical Infrastructure (CI) protection using a four-tiered model. The model incorporates technical level, institutional level, architectural or community level and state level actions to protect the CI institution and prepare for cyber threats based on qualitative research. While explaining the model, it also attempts to build a correlation between cyberspace and national security and the role of CIs in this evolving relationship.
