A Controversial Hypercritical Examination of Cybersecurity Policies in Pakistan that Cannot Be Ignored

    Pakistan has witnessed a very fast digit transformation. The present article explains how this new technology has affected economic activities, critical infrastructure management, and communication dynamics in Pakistan. Without a doubt, digital infrastructure provides a way for the communication and interaction, which are also increasingly being targeted by hackers, cybercriminals, state proxy and governments. Resolving these risks involves a multi-dimensional solution that includes technical, organizational, and legal remedies. Moreover, the interplay of cyber law and cybersecurity occupies a paramount position as regards the safety of personal, organizational, and national data that are often the target of growing cyber threats. Through the discussion of the developing context of cyber incidents and the significant role of the legal and security environment, the article focuses on the aforesaid issue, the lack of proactive measures that should be taken to combat cyber risks and safeguard the integrity of the digital world.
