According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Air Chief Marshal Hasan Mahmood Khan, during his address at the inauguration, emphasized the evolving nature of modern warfare, highlighting the inseparability of airspace and cyberspace.

Khan stressed the importance of awareness, vigilance, and discipline to maintain security. He commended the Directorate of Cyber Warfare and Information Technology for their initiatives against cyber threats and urged for careful usage of digital devices and heightened awareness. He described cyber security as a collective discipline demanding continuous vigilance and shared responsibility.
The Air Chief called for a unified effort to ensure the Bangladesh Air Force's dominance in airspace, security in digital networks, and supremacy in the digital battle space. The event was attended by selected officers from various Air Force bases and units, Airmen, MODC, and civilian members, while representatives from bases outside Dhaka participated virtually.
Throughout the month, various activities are planned to enhance cyber awareness among Air Force members, their families, and students from multiple schools and colleges.
