With the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic, a remarkable amount of online traffic has been surging. While e-commerce, social media usage, entertainment, and other e-platforms are booming simultaneously, online attackers are on the prowl more than ever before using ‘social engineering’ and other fraudulent tricks. Grameenphone Chief Technology Officer Rade Kovacevic said, “We are committed to safeguarding our network and customers’ online presence through continuous innovations and modernization.
As a connectivity partner to the Digital Bangladesh journey, we are working tirelessly to keep the internet safe and create awareness among our customers and employees about the danger of cyberthreats so that together we can build a Digital-Defense.” In partnership with UNICEF and Telenor, GP has been conducting outreach programs nationwide to create awareness of a safer internet environment for children and sensitize parents, guardians, and teachers.
