Pakistan has activated a locally developed automated monitoring platform to strengthen protection against increasing cyber threats targeting government websites and digital infrastructure. The new system aims to detect potential cyber attacks in real time and improve the country’s ability to respond quickly to emerging security risks.
The National Cyber Emergency Response Team (National CERT) has started continuous monitoring of more than 1,500 government websites and applications across the country. Officials say the platform has been designed to identify suspicious online activity instantly and notify relevant authorities whenever a potential cyber threat is detected.
