About Janefar Alam
Cybersecurity analyst, cyber activist and climate tech advisor from Bangladesh, working on cybercrime prevention, victim support, digital policy and climate technology.
Working for a safer internet — and a healthier planet.
I’m a cybersecurity researcher and analyst working where people, policy and technology meet. My focus is cybercrime prevention, digital policy and direct technical support for people harmed online.
I’ve trained and advised teams connected with the National Emergency Service 999, the 109 helpline of the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, Bangladesh Police, Bangladesh Army, and the ICT Division. I also comment publicly on national digital frameworks, data security and Bangladesh’s cyber laws.
My work also extends to climate technology and environmental advocacy. I’m a Climate Tech Advisor at Renew Earth News and participated in COP30 in 2025 as a climate tech specialist.
