Dr. Haider Abbas, one of Pakistan’s most respected cybersecurity scholars and national digital defense advocates, delivers a compelling case for cross-border collaboration in cybersecurity between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

In this thoughtful session, Dr. Abbas highlights:

• The rise of indigenous cybersecurity tools developed in Pakistan, including SIEM and NDR solutions
• Compliance capabilities with global standards like PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and Saudi-specific frameworks like SAMA/SACF
• The affordability, competitiveness, and high quality of Pakistani cybersecurity products and audit services
• Translating products into Arabic and tailoring them to Saudi business needs
• The potential for joint scrutiny and quality assurance models to build mutual trust in service delivery
• The power of Pakistan’s skilled HR in ethical hacking, OT/ICS security, and critical infrastructure defense

Dr. Abbas proposes forming a Special Interest Group to align Pakistani cybersecurity companies with Saudi demand, supported by national pre-evaluation, product readiness, and trust-building protocols.

“I’m happy to join not just as an expert, but as a learner,” says Dr. Abbas. “Together, we can build a secure future where Pakistani innovation supports Saudi cybersecurity excellence.”

This is more than opportunity — it's a strategic alliance in the making.
