The national centre for cyber security, Sri Lanka Computer Emergency Response Team (SLCERT) said that they are currently collaboratively working with the military forces to identify possible factors which could wage a cyber war against Sri Lanka.
SLCERT Senior Information Security Engineer Rohana Palliyaguru said that they are working together with the military forces on determining potentially harmful forces that are operating in cyberspace that have the possibility of waging a cyber-war against the country so that a mechanism could be formulated to prepare Sri Lanka against such attacks.
Mr. Palliyaguru, who also spoke of the rising issue of cyber crimes in Sri Lanka, said that most cyber crimes occur as a result of the lack of awareness and knowledge on the part of the victims. “There are certain necessary precautionary actions which cyberspace users should follow in order to protect themselves from cyber crimes. However, we realized that most of the crimes had occurred as a result of the lack of awareness of such protective measures,” he said.
