Staff Reporter : Grameenphone, the country’s leading telecommunication services provider, has launched ‘GP Shield’, a next-generation, Cisco-powered DNS-layer security solution designed to protect customers from rising online threats such as malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks.
As digital adoption accelerates across Bangladesh, individuals and businesses are increasingly exposed to harmful links, data-theft attempts, and malicious online activity. GP Shield directly addresses this emerging threat landscape, integrating Cisco’s industry-leading threat intelligence into Grameenphone’s network. With no app, no downloads, and zero device storage requirements, users enjoy seamless real-time protection from cyber threats, making safe browsing effortless and accessible for all.
Farha Naz Zaman, Chief Marketing Officer of Grameenphone, said, “At Grameenphone, safeguarding our customers’ online journeys is as important as providing strong connectivity. GP Shield is our promise to protect the trust that our customers place in us by making safety a built-in part of how they experience the internet. Through this initiative, we want every customer to explore, learn, and live online with confidence.”
Dr. Asif Naimur Rashid, Chief Business Officer of Grameenphone, said, “Digital progress must go hand in hand with digital safety. GP Shield extends our responsibility beyond access and toward protection, reliability, and trust. With this launch, we look forward to continuing our journey of transforming internet connectivity into a secure experience that empowers Bangladesh’s citizens and enterprises to grow fearlessly in the digital space.”
Aligned with this mission, the campaign message “Entry Restricted: Not for you, but for malicious viruses and fake links” reflects Grameenphone’s proactive resolve to safeguard customers’ digital experiences.
Customers can now subscribe to GP Shield conveniently through the MyGP app, choosing between Tk 50 per month or Tk 500 per year. With flexible payment options, Cisco’s trusted global security intelligence, and automatic network-level protection, GP Shield stands as Bangladesh’s most advanced telco-integrated online-security solution empowering millions to browse, transact, and connect with confidence.
This marks another milestone in Grameenphone’s commitment to go beyond connectivity and ensuring customers experience not just fast internet, but safe and trusted digital access.
