In December 2023, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) launched the first Cyber Security Strategy 2023-2028 for the telecom industry, aimed at strengthening the security and resilience of Pakistan’s evolving telecom sector. The five-year plan is aligned with the National Cyber Security Policy 2021, and is designed to fortify digital security in the telecom landscape.
Pakistan has taken several digital measures since to improve cybersecurity, starting with the launch of the National Cyber Security Policy in 2021. The document contains ambitious goals and covers various aspects of cybersecurity. The focus is primarily on digital government institutions, but also recognizes the need for cybersecurity practices in the private sector.
