AI and Cybersecurity – An Indian and Bangladeshi Cyber-Border Perspective

As globalization gears up every decade, the blurred borders are enhancing geo-political and economic inclusivity on one hand but on the other are causing significant and potentially severe security implications. Among these, Cybercrimes since the past two and a half decades have increased exponentially resulting in fueling political, social and economic instability. The increase in cyber threats and attacks has prompted many countries to collaborate in addressing this shared challenge. Similarly, in the south Asia block - India and Bangladesh formalized an MOU on joint cybersecurity cooperation in 2017 to facilitate and enhance bilateral cooperation to tackle the issue related to cyber-threats. This research paper navigates the loopholes with respect to framework and implementations of the MOU under India's CERT-In and Bangladesh's BGD e-Gov CIRT and how it can be made more effective and reliable in dealing with cyber-border security.
