PTA has developed a “Cyber Security Framework” after thorough discussion and consultation with the telecom industry and top cyber security experts.
This framework, which outlines the responsibilities of auditors and PTA licensees, is founded on the Critical Telecom Data and Infrastructure Security Regulation (CTDISR), according to the official announcement made public by PTA.
It gives the auditors direction for carrying out gap assessments in light of the PTA’s Cyber Security Regulations, including, if necessary, interpretation and expectations against every other security control.
A maturity model that classifies the controls according to their criticality has also been developed as part of the framework.
It is important to note that when compiling the Global Cyber Security Index (GCI), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) considers each member state’s cyber security framework.
The framework will enable enterprises to effectively manage and mitigate cybersecurity risk, and it is a key step toward enhancing the security environment in the telecom industry.
