Telenor Pakistan Secures No. 1 Position for Third Consecutive Year in Cybersecurity Excellence

Telenor Pakistan has once again claimed the top spot for the third year in a row in the Cybersecurity Excellence category at the Telecom Cyber Security Awards 2026. This recognition, bestowed by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), underscores the company's unwavering commitment to regulatory compliance and the safeguarding of sensitive telecom data and infrastructure.

Federal Minister for IT and Telecommunication, Shaza Fatima Khawaja, presented the prestigious award to PTML Chief Technology Officer Awais Vohra and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Shan Haq during a ceremony attended by top government officials, PTA Chairperson, and industry leaders.

The award was a result of PTA's thorough audit and revalidation process, which revealed Telenor Pakistan's exemplary compliance score within the industry, specifically under the Critical Telecom Data and Infrastructure Security Regulations (CTDISR). This score attests to the company's consistent adherence to stringent security standards and its dedication to maintaining robust security protocols across all operations.

In today's digital age, where telecommunications networks serve as the backbone of an interconnected global economy, the protection of critical infrastructure and the preservation of data integrity are paramount. Ufone and Telenor Pakistan's consistent efforts in this arena set a benchmark for the rest of the industry. Speaking on the achievement, Awais Vohra expressed his delight, stating, "Cybersecurity is the bedrock of trust in our hyper-connected society.

We are honored to secure the top position for the third year running, a testament to our robust security standards, regulatory compliance, and our relentless efforts to protect critical telecom data and infrastructure. Our commitment to fostering a more secure and resilient digital environment in Pakistan remains unwavering."

This accolade accentuates the critical role of cybersecurity in bolstering trust within Pakistan's telecommunications sector, especially as digital connectivity continues to play an indispensable role in the daily lives of users, businesses, and institutions across the nation.
