Implementation of Cyber Security in Corporate Sector of Pakistan

Abstract

We live in a time when knowledge is easily accessible and people are connected throughout the world. The technological improvements that modern states use to advance include streamlined online bill payments, improved healthcare systems, sophisticated transportation networks, the use of artificial intelligence, cutting-edge communication systems, and technological warfare. Despite the fact that technology has made it possible to break down geographical borders, the widespread use of technology has led to the emergence of new challenges and concerns. Hacking, bank fraud, money laundering, data breaches, unauthorized acquisition of state secrets, and targeted attacks on critical infrastructure are just a few of the criminal activities and threats that plague the digital world today. These crimes have all emerged as major facets of modern cyber warfare. Such threats can affect both wealthy and developing countries, creating a challenging situation for national security. Among these countries, Pakistan and other emerging nations are particularly at risk. The nation has a sizable population of business users who are unfamiliar with information technology, which makes it more difficult for governmental and legislative authorities to regulate the nation's digital environment. Recent catastrophic cyberattacks on Pakistani institutions' most essential websites have successfully breached significant digital installations. Legislators in Pakistan have responded by introducing cyber legislation, but it doesn't seem like they fully address the variety of online threats. This study paper is focused on creating a framework for the adoption of cyber security in Pakistan's corporate sector and investigating workable solutions to serious cybersecurity issues. In order to generate findings, a qualitative research methodology was used, gathering information from both primary and secondary sources. Finally, the study makes a number of suggestions on how Pakistan's corporate sector may implement cyber security.
