Sri Lanka Recognized as a Cybersecurity Leader: Our Commitment to End-to-End Security

The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) 2024 ranked Sri Lanka as a tier-2 country in the Asia Pacific alongside China and the Philippines.

The GCI, published by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), analyses each country’s commitment to cybersecurity based on five areas: legal, technical, organisational, capacity, and cooperation measures.

Sri Lanka ranked high for each metric, with a special focus on technical measures (a perfect score of 20/20), legal measures (a score of 19.21/20), and capacity development (a score of 17.11/20), making them our key areas of strength.
