Bangladeshi companies should establish proper security shields to protect their official data from cyber attacks, cyber security and audit experts said yesterday. Every organisation should think about security of their data before awarding the audit work to a chartered accountancy firm, said Luna Shamsuddoha, chairman of Janata Bank. Official data should be protected and archived to avoid cyber threats and loss of data,” said Luna, also president of the Bangladesh Women in Technology. She spoke in a workshop titled “Cyber security for personal and professional safety” organised by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) and Bangladesh Open Source Network (BdOSN) at the CA Bhaban in Dhaka. People should be more careful while using technology, otherwise they could fall victim to cybercrimes at any time, he said. Currently 80 million people are using internet in Bangladesh, so cyber threats may become pervasive just because of a lack of capacity in handling such threats. It is a must to create mass awareness on cyber crimes, said Sayed Nasirullah, assistant commissioner of the cyber security and crime division of Dhaka Metropolitan Police. More programme should be organised to create awareness on cyber crimes among people, especially women, said Parveen Mahmud, former president of the ICAB.
