Nepal's cybersecurity landscape faces significant challenges. While precise, publicly available data on the impact of the 102-point advisory is limited, existing statistics highlight vulnerabilities. The advisory itself underscores the urgency of addressing these gaps. Year-over-year data on specific cyberattacks in Nepal is often unavailable due to underreporting and data privacy concerns, hindering a complete analysis of the advisory's effectiveness. Comparisons with global averages reveal Nepal's relatively lower cybersecurity preparedness and higher vulnerability to cyber threats.
