Pakistan’s cybersecurity landscape is witnessing rapid evolution, marked by a surge in threats targeting critical infrastructure, financial institutions, and government entities.
Limited resources, a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, and inadequate collaboration between public and private sectors continue to hinder progress in Pakistan's cybersecurity efforts.
Between July 2023 and June 2024, Pakistan experienced a rise in cyber-attacks, including malware, phishing, DDoS attacks, ransomware, and insider threats.
Pakistan has made significant advances in cybersecurity, rising to Tier-1 level in the ITU's 2024 Global Cybersecurity Index, but ongoing strategic actions, resource allocation, and international cooperation are emphasized to mitigate risks.
