The need for cybersecurity education in Bangladeshi universities

In the digital age, universities in Bangladesh are stepping up to address the growing need for cybersecurity education. The Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) has established a cutting-edge “Cyber Range” facility, simulating real-world cyber threat scenarios to provide students with hands-on experience. Integrating cybersecurity into the curriculum not only enhances graduates’ employability but also contributes to Bangladesh’s overall digital resilience. Through initiatives like “Capture the Flag” exercises and hosting national and international cybersecurity events, MIST is leading the charge in equipping the next generation with the skills to navigate the complexities of the cyber world.
