Top 7 Cybersecurity Threats in Bangladesh Businesses Face in 2025

In recent years, Bangladesh has witnessed rapid digital transformation. From banking and financial services to IT outsourcing, e-commerce, and government projects, more organizations are shifting operations to the cloud and digital platforms. But with this growth comes increased cyber risk. According to multiple reports, Bangladesh has become one of the most targeted countries in South Asia for cyberattacks, ranging from data breaches to ransomware.

At ORCWIZ, we work closely with businesses in Bangladesh to strengthen their defenses and achieve compliance. Based on our experience and industry data, here are the top cybersecurity threats Bangladeshi businesses face in 2025.

1. Phishing & Social Engineering Attacks

Phishing emails and fake login pages remain one of the easiest entry points for attackers. In Bangladesh, cybercriminals are increasingly using social media, SMS, and email scams to trick employees into revealing credentials or transferring funds. A single successful phishing attempt can lead to data breaches and financial loss.

How ORCWIZ helps: We train teams on phishing awareness and deploy email security tools to filter malicious messages.

2. Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware continues to be a major threat worldwide, and Bangladesh is no exception. Attackers encrypt company data and demand payments, often in cryptocurrency. For SMEs without strong backup and recovery plans, this can completely halt operations.

A company with over 158 years of history was recently forced to shut down after falling victim to a ransomware attack.

How ORCWIZ helps: Our cybersecurity framework includes disaster recovery planning, secure backups, and endpoint protection.

3. Weak Cloud Security Practices

With more companies adopting cloud services, improper configuration and lack of compliance with Bangladesh’s Cloud Computing Policy (SEC.STD.004) have left many organizations exposed. Misconfigured cloud storage often leads to sensitive data leaks.

How ORCWIZ helps: We provide cloud security assessments and ensure compliance with national and international standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001).

4. Insider Threats

Not all threats come from outside. Employees, contractors, or partners may misuse access—intentionally or unintentionally. In Bangladesh’s growing IT and BPO sector, insider threats are becoming a serious concern.

How ORCWIZ helps: We implement access control, monitoring, and regular audits to minimize insider risks.

5. Lack of Cybersecurity Awareness

Many Bangladeshi organizations—especially SMEs—still underestimate cybersecurity. Without training, employees are often the weakest link, clicking on malicious links or using weak passwords.

How ORCWIZ helps: We run awareness programs and provide best-practice frameworks to build a cybersecurity culture.

6. Compliance Gaps

With increasing international outsourcing, Bangladeshi IT and BPO companies are under pressure to achieve certifications like SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. Without compliance, they risk losing global clients.

How ORCWIZ helps: We specialize in guiding organizations through compliance audits, ensuring they meet both local and global requirements.

7. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)

Nation-state and organized cybercrime groups are increasingly targeting Bangladesh, especially banks and financial institutions. These sophisticated attacks are designed to stay undetected for long periods, extracting valuable data.

How ORCWIZ helps: We use advanced monitoring, penetration testing, and incident response strategies to detect and block APTs.

Final Thoughts

Cybersecurity in Bangladesh is no longer optional—it’s essential for survival and growth. Businesses that fail to invest in protection expose themselves to reputational damage, financial loss, and legal risks.

At ORCWIZ, we provide end-to-end cybersecurity services tailored to the Bangladeshi market—from compliance certifications to proactive monitoring. If you want to secure your organization against these threats, our experts are ready to help.
