| Abstract | The fast progress of ICT and the growing trust on interrelated systems have made organizations prone to cyber-attacks. In states like Pakistan, where numerous organizations are still developing their cybersecurity models, addressing cyber threats in real- time remains an important challenge. This paper proposes a security model for enhancing Cyber Security platforms within Pakistan's ICT sector. This model places a strong emphasis on using predictive techniques to identify, track, and mitigate potential network threats before they do significant harm. The approach attempts to assist enterprises in improving their cybersecurity posture by incorporating threat actor intelligence, network structure, cyber assets, and professional aspirations. We also examine the necessity of national cybersecurity centers that offer ongoing, real-time monitoring and incident response, akin to those seen in developed countries. By integrating security measures into routine business processes, this research seeks to establish a proactive cybersecurity environment that offers a strong defense against changing cyberthreats. Additionally, the study offers a thorough summary of the current cybersecurity knowledge gaps and practical recommendations for putting security tactics into practice. |
