Sri Lanka’s national Computer Emergency Readiness Team (Sri Lanka CERT), in partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), has officially unveiled the findings of a major cybersecurity assessment focused on the country’s critical national infrastructure.
Key Highlights
- Comprehensive evaluation conducted jointly by Sri Lanka CERT and the Asian Development Bank.
- Identifies critical vulnerabilities across key sectors, including energy, telecommunications, and finance.
- Outlines a roadmap for upgrading defense capabilities, regulatory frameworks, and emergency response mechanisms.
The assessment comes at a crucial time as Sri Lanka accelerates its digital transformation while facing an increasingly complex global threat landscape.
