𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗱, 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 – The National Cyber Emergency Response Team (National CERT) of Pakistan successfully conducted a comprehensive two-day operational and implementation-focused training on Integrated Cybersecurity Governance & Secure Technology Adoption at the Secretariat Training Institute (STI) for officers (BS-17) belonging to the Office Management Group (OMG) as part of the 47th Specialised Training Programme (STP) of the 53rd Common Training Programme (CTP). The training covered key areas including cybersecurity governance, policymaking, adoption of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, cyber risk and threat assessment, and secure digital transformation. Aligned with National CERT's Training Guidelines, the sessions equipped participants with essential knowledge, practical insights, and live demonstrations, reinforcing cybersecurity as a strategic national priority across the public sector.

The training was delivered by Mr. Syed Imran Haider, Assistant Director Training; Dr. Mehreen Afzal Afzal, Director GRC; Mr. Khurram Javed, Director Capacity Building; and Mr. Syed Zain ul Hassan, Red Team Lead. Participants remained actively engaged throughout the programme, contributing to interactive discussions, scenario-based exercises, and practical demonstrations. Supported by real-world case studies, the sessions enabled officers to translate theory into practice, strengthening their ability to identify cyber threats, implement effective security measures, and apply cybersecurity governance frameworks within government institutions.

The programme further enhanced participants' capacity to lead secure digital transformation initiatives, promote proactive cyber risk management, and make informed strategic decisions aligned with Pakistan's national cybersecurity priorities. By fostering a governance-driven approach to cybersecurity and responsible technology adoption, the training contributes to strengthening institutional resilience and building a more secure digital public sector.

National CERT remains committed to advancing national cyber resilience through sustained capacity building, awareness initiatives, and strategic collaborations.
