NTA’s Cyber Security to Protect Against International Gateways

Malware, Phishing, Ransomware, Man-in-the-middle attack, etc. have compromised sensitive data, Such attacks are becoming more sophisticated these days. NTA says, “these attacks from the internet generally come to the service providers networks via International Internet Gateways.”

“Around 20-30 % of the internet traffic generally comes to the territory of Nepal through International Gateways. Despite attempts to forfeit, International Internet Gateways are often vulnerable to such attacks. For the remaining internet traffic in Domestic/National Networks, efforts need to be made to safeguard the national ICT infrastructure,” NTA adds.

Often such cyber attacks seem like proxy attacks. It means the origin of the attacks seems coming from China, but actually, it’s coming from within.” The attacks into the cyber system put national security at risk by divulging crucial information. Some of these breaches have sinister objectives in mind. Therefore, NTA is stepping up to develop a more sophisticated security system to protect Nepali cyberspace.

Cybersecurity war is real and often a tool by the state or state-funded entity to carry out branches on foreign organizations, government data, and other crucial communication systems. Such attacks can put national security at risk as well as citizens’. Therefore, a highly-advanced firewall should be implemented to guard the nation’s cyberspace against foreign as well as national attacks.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
