the NetSol Technologies Limited has launched "Secure Pakistan" project to safeguard the digital boundaries of Pakistan by making information and its communication reliable and secure.
The NetSol is the leading IT Company of Pakistan, with its strategic presence in North America, UK/Europe and Asia Pacific, a CMMI Level 5, ISO-27001 (Info. Sec. Mgmt. Sys.) Certified and NASDAQ listed company. 'Secure Pakistan' is another feather in the cap of the NetSol, launched by its Information Security Consulting Department.
The project is launched to ensure securing of critical information, while storing or transferring data especially in the present age of increasing reliance on Information and Communication Technology (ICT). "We have services to safeguard the information, no matter whether it is security of websites or company network, private and confidential data", said the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, Salim Ghauri.
We will be the first in Pakistan to offer protection against the alarming rise in computer crime, hacking on corporate financial networks, harassment, identity theft, denial of service attacks and virus threat, he added.
'Secure Pakistan' has established successful partnerships with many global Information Security Consulting Companies including US based company, Business Automation Consultants, IT Butler of Australian, Risk Associates and Pakistan based NIMIS who will be providing consultancy for the project.
Further, the CEO said most public and private organisations had come across multiple instances, where there is a need to handle sensitive data carefully. Since the NetSol is an integral part of nation's growing IT industry, it believes that providing E-security measures would provide credibility and reliability to the undertaking companies.
"We have a clear and concise mission to safeguard the digital infrastructure of the country. We would provide security through 'Secure Pakistan' against both internal and external threats," he said.
"We want to take the lead in the country by providing support in securing the digital boundaries of Pakistan. We also would help creating awareness and designing a clear road map both in public and private sector on securing information assets from external and internal threats", said the NetSol executive.
'Secure Pakistan' is evolving lab for forensic investigation, CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team), round the clock security surveillance centre and training on awareness of computer crime, he maintained.
