Yes. We need Cyber Security Insurance. State Bank of Pakistan has also mandated Banks for Cyber Insurance.
What do you think that people of Pakistan are well informed about cybersecurity and threats …if they are not well informed please advise ?
Cybersecurity is evolving in Pakistan. Cyber-attacks and Digital Frauds are also on the rise as digital transformation is taking place in the country especially in the last two years of the COVID Pandemic. I think people are not well informed about cyber threats as they should be. I believe mass level security awareness campaigns and programs should be conducted through Social, Print & Electronic media to provide awareness to the people.
