Nepal’s NID System is Not Safe | Why Cyber Security Must Become Nepal's #1 Priority

Meet Bijay, a cybersecurity entrepreneur working at the intersection of AI, national security, and digital infrastructure. With experience across SaaS security, enterprise systems, and AI-powered cyber defense, he works with national and international clients while actively advocating for stronger cybersecurity standards in Nepal.   In this conversation, Bijay explains why cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue, but a national security priority. From AI-generated malware and cyber warfare to Nepal’s outdated policies, data privacy risks, and the future of AI-driven attacks, he explores how technology is evolving faster than governments and organizations can adapt.   In this episode of The Doers Podcast, we talk about:   -Why cybersecurity is now a national security issue, not just an IT problem -How AI is changing both cyber defense and cyber warfare -Why Nepal still operates on outdated cybersecurity policies from 2012 -Why young Nepali cybersecurity talents are world class but lack direction -Why future wars may begin with cyber attacks, not missiles -What Nepal must do to build a billion dollar cybersecurity industry -Why “secure by design” is becoming mandatory in the AI era   From AI threats to digital warfare, from policy failures to untapped Nepali talent, this conversation goes deep into the future of cybersecurity, national resilience, and Nepal’s place in the global tech ecosystem.   Timestamps: 0:00 Highlights 0:59 Bijay back at The Doers podcast after 5 years 5:30 Rapid changes in innovation due to AI 9:29 How will you protect your data and information? 15:13 Now cyber security has become a basic need. 20:13 Health sector is a neglected area. 24:46 There is no cyber security law in Nepal. 28:32 Big visions with no base in Nepal’s digital plan 39:10 MBBS student in bug bounty 44:29 Status of young graduates in this field 49:49 Milestones to achieve to get into cyber defence 57:32 Why are we losing projects from abroad? 1:12:42 Principle of  Palantir’s CEO  1:16:34 It is a race of capital. 1:20:44 Showcase investors our capabilities and competence.   If you love reading, don't miss our newsletter on Substack Link: https://substack.com/@doersglobal?    Want to join us live in the studio as an audience member?
