read the statement in the website, that further added that the new strategy aims to ensure a safe, secure, trusted, resilient and vibrant cyberspace for country’s prosperity.

The development comes as concerns were raised about the sufficiency of the National Cyber Security Policy 2013 in addressing the growing cyber threats.
The concerns were further aggravated as Cyber intrusions and attacks have increased in scope and sophistication at a time when the country is looking to transform into a digital economy.
