𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶, 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 – The National Cyber Emergency Response Team (National CERT) of Pakistan has launched the National CISO Consortium, a premier national cybersecurity collaboration initiative that brings together the country’s leading Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and senior cybersecurity leaders on a trusted, structured platform.

The Consortium provides a unique opportunity for Pakistan’s cybersecurity leadership to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the national cyber mission. By bringing together the collective wisdom, experience, and expertise of the country’s senior cybersecurity community, the National CISO Consortium seeks to transform industry knowledge and experience into meaningful national impact.

Through structured engagement, members of the National CISO Consortium will have the opportunity to make strategic contributions to national cybersecurity policies, security frameworks, capability development, capacity building, and initiatives aimed at strengthening Pakistan’s overall cyber resilience. The Consortium will also facilitate the exchange of critical insights, professional experiences, and emerging threat intelligence, enabling members to collectively address shared cybersecurity challenges and contribute their expertise towards advancing Pakistan’s national cyber mission.

Addressing prominent CISOs and cybersecurity leaders from across the nation, DG National CERT, Dr. Haider Abbas, TI, underscored the importance of transitioning from siloed organizational strategies toward a unified national cybersecurity ecosystem. He emphasized leveraging the collective expertise of Pakistan’s cybersecurity leadership to define national priorities, fortify collective defense capabilities, and build practical solutions for emerging cyber threats.

The launch of the National CISO Consortium marks a significant milestone towards institutionalizing senior-level cybersecurity collaboration and aligning industry expertise with national cybersecurity objectives, highlighting National CERT’s commitment to building a more coordinated, capable, and resilient digital Pakistan.
