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.
