𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗱, 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 – The National Cyber Emergency Response Team (National CERT) actively participated in Cyber Uraan — a flagship initiative by KinVerg, organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives. The program marks a significant stride toward empowering Pakistan’s next generation of digital defenders, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate today’s evolving cybersecurity landscape.
Ms. Zaheema Iqbal, Assistant Director Advisories & Communications at National CERT, was invited as a guest speaker for the event. During her insightful session on “Pakistan’s Cyber Threat Landscape,” she discussed emerging risks and vulnerabilities across three critical tiers: individual, organizational, and national. She emphasized the importance of awareness, proactive defense mechanisms, and unified national coordination to strengthen Pakistan’s digital resilience against the ever-growing spectrum of cyber threats.
Ms. Iqbal also apprised the participants of National CERT’s ongoing initiatives, including Cyber NEST (a capacity-building and innovation hub), Cyber Care for Children (focused on online safety for minors), the Cyber Aagahi Series (raising public awareness on cyber hygiene), and the Junior Cyber Superheroes Program (empowering children as responsible digital citizens). She further highlighted National CERT’s strategic roadmap for advancing Pakistan’s cybersecurity infrastructure underscoring public-private collaboration, talent development, and alignment with international best practices to ensure a safer and more secure digital future for the nation.
Through such engagements, National CERT reaffirms its commitment to fostering a cyber-aware society and building a robust cybersecurity ecosystem that safeguards Pakistan’s digital landscape for generations to come.
