ISLAMABAD: The experts at the Cyber moot “Sustainable Cyber Secure Pakistan Vision 2030” discussed the global fast practices to achieve sustainable cyber security in the country.

The objectives of the conference were to engage all the relevant stakeholders in the area of emerging trends, challenges and solutions in cyber security.

The four-day moot was organized by Pakistan Information Security Association (PISA),  in Islamabad, stated a press release on Thursday.

The global cyber threat continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with a rising number of data breaches each year, the cyber security experts were in consensus.

All recent reports by research organizations reveal shocking billions of data records being exposed by data breaches. The Banking sector, medical services, retailers, and public entities experienced the most breaches, with malicious criminals responsible for most incidents.

Some of these sectors are more appealing to cyber criminals because they collect financial and medical data, but all businesses that use networks can be targeted for customer data, corporate espionage, or customer attacks.

PISA is a not-for-profit organization of information security professionals and practitioners and provides educational forums, publications, and peer interaction opportunities that enhance the knowledge, skill and professional growth of its members.
