Message

Cybers world is redefining itself with a speed unpresented in the human history. We have to redefine our organization accordingly Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) is not a replacement of any existing Cybersecurity infrastructure within an organization like SOC, SIEM, SOAR, Splunk etc. CERT is an arrangement between the organization and other Cyber entities at National and International level, which takes 24/7 watch on national and international threats and informs the concerned entities accordingly.
Government of Pakistan has already issued Cybersecurity Policy which has defined the infrastructure of National CERT, Sectorial CERT and Organizational CERT. NTISB (Cabinet Division) has been mandated to establish National CERT followed by centrioles CERT and substiquentially all Public and Private organization under their own respective CERT would found their own CERT.
CIT CERT was established 3 Years before by Center Of Information Technology which was 25 Years old organization and 25000+ universities graduated have qualified their Master Degree from Center Of Information. As Director CIT I vision and passion build the capacity of all the organization to build their own CERT inline with the objectives and targets of Digital Pakistan.
I wish all of you a great success.

What is a CERT Coordination Center?

CERT Coordination Center is the focal point of contact for many CERTs to develop the hierarchy of knowledge base of Cyber Threats, their response and keep it updated as & when threat perceptions are changed. CERT Coordination Center keeps regular liaison with its member CERTs locally and abroad to maintain the currency of this knowledge database.

Need of a CERT Coordination Center in Pakistan?

Need of a CERT Coordination Center in Pakistan? Currently there is no focal point of contact in Pakistan which could assist/support the public and private sector organizations to establish their own CERTs, manage it as per International standards and to train their constituency. Center of Information Technology is managing PISA-CERT for the last twelve years and during the process has achieved certain standards in Pakistan and abroad in the area of Cyber Drills and has built/established its capability to form their own CERTs.
