ISLAMABAD: The Senate was informed on Friday that a cyber security strategy was being devised to counter cyber attacks or infiltration from other countries.
Minister of State for Interior Balighur Rehman told the upper house of parliament during question hour that the government has already approved e-mail and internet policy which envisages security guidelines and a multi-stage information security audit of government institutions and ministries.
He said the Ministry of Information Technology had also finalised “Prevention and Electronic Crime Bill” which would soon be presented in the parliament for approval.
Rehman said Nadra had a sensitive database of 100 million people and had deployed a state-of the art system to prevent breaches from internal and external cyber intruders.
