ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on Wednesday unveiled its Cyber Security strategy for Pakistan’s telecom sector, a comprehensive and ambitious plan set to span from 2023 to 2028.
This strategy is a significant step in the implementation of the National Cyber Security Policy – 2021 and marks a monumental stride towards bolstering digital security in the country’s rapidly evolving telecom sector.
According to PTA, the strategy is built on six foundational pillars, each targeting a specific aspect of cyber security, such as legal framework, cyber resilience, proactive monitoring and incident response, capacity building, cooperation and collaboration, and public awareness.
The strategy emphasizes a multi-stakeholder approach, fostering active collaboration between public and private sectors, regulatory bodies, telecom operators, private security firms, academia, and civil society.
This initiative is not just a step forward in cyber security but it is also a leap towards a more digitally secure and resilient Pakistan.
