Abstract:
With the advent of digital technology, modern security landscape and the threat spectrum have been revolutionized. The growing dependence on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has developed cyber space as a new domain in warfare and a crucial national security concern. Pakistan is no exception; it also heavily relies on cyber space which exposes it to cyber threats. This research analyzed rapid advancement in India’s cyber warfare capabilities by collaborating with formidable cyber power Israel. It has been equipping India with sophisticated cyber technologies and expertise. As New Delhi cyber security capabilities are Pakistan focused, therefore, the growing Indian cyber warfare capabilities pose a grave threat to Pakistan’s national security. This study has explored the growing Indo-Israel cyber security collaboration and its repercussions on Pakistan’s national security. This paper has also addressed the gaps in the existing Pakistan’s cyber security landscape and provided some policy options in the face of Indo-Israel growing cyber security partnership.
