ISLAMABAD, June 23: Pakistan needed to actively work on developing its digital diplomacy frameworks said MrAmmarJaffri, former Director General (DG) FIA. He was addressing a webinar titled Cyber Security Challenges: The Need for Regional Forums to Combat Cyber Threats organized by the Institute of Regional Studies (IRS). He said that the cyber world was a stateless domain which could not function in the absence of regulatory norms and frameworks, on both, national and international levels. MrJaffri added that Pakistan could not choose to live in isolation, and that it required global help from institutions like the UN. Moreover, the enforcement of cyber laws was extremely weak in Pakistan and hence reliance on an external source alongside the ensuring needful development on national level was the need of the hour.
DrZuneraJalil, Associate Professor at Air University Islamabad was of the opinion that Pakistan must focus on the development of critical infrastructure whilst ensuring comprehensive cyber laws and policies. Safe adoption of cloud and indigenization must be adopted by Pakistan, she said. – PR
