ABSTRACT: This report delves into the key challenges and opportunities that banks in Bangladesh face in adopting AI-powered cybersecurity measures. It highlights several critical issues, such as a lack of skilled cybersecurity personnel, insufficient employee training, limited use of AI in banking operations, and obstacles to AI adoption. These problems prevent banks from fully harnessing the potential of AI to tackle the growing complexity of cyber threats. To address these challenges, the report offers practical recommendations, including expanding cybersecurity teams with AI expertise, improving training programs for employees, broadening AI applications across various banking functions, optimizing existing AI systems, and adopting AI-specific compliance frameworks. The report also underscores the need for collaboration between banks, regulators, and tech providers to enhance regulatory support and access to advanced AI tools. Ultimately, it stresses the urgency for Bangladesh’s banking sector to address AI-driven cybersecurity threats and implement best practices to protect sensitive information, improve efficiency, and build resilience against evolving cyber risks.
