PK-CERT has entered a partnership with global cyber security firm Kaspersky to advance national cybersecurity through joint training, awareness initiatives and professional information exchange on cyber threats. The collaboration is designed to shore up Pakistan’s cyber resilience amid rising risks to data and critical systems.
The agreement will see PK-CERT and Kaspersky roll out capacity-building programs and public awareness campaigns aimed at strengthening incident response and reducing vulnerabilities. These training efforts are intended to equip local IT teams and stakeholders with better tools to detect and mitigate threats, supporting broader national cybersecurity goals.
Under the partnership, the two organisations will ensure regular sharing of technical intelligence on cyber espionage, data leaks, attacks on critical infrastructure and coordinated misinformation campaigns. This professional exchange of threat information is expected to enhance Pakistan’s ability to respond quickly to emerging incidents and prevent disruptive campaigns.
The Director General of National CERT described the collaboration as an important step toward reinforcing the country’s cyber defenses, while Kaspersky emphasised that robust security measures are indispensable for protecting digital development. Both partners framed the initiative as a milestone in Pakistan’s journey toward safer digital transformation.
The joint focus on training, awareness and threat intelligence aims to build sustainable capacity across public and private sectors, contributing to long-term national cybersecurity and a more resilient digital landscape in Pakistan.
