Foundation Projects

Pakistan is experiencing rapid growth in digitization but the pace of adoption for cyber security practices is fairly low. This leaves organizations in both the private sector and government, as well as citizens, exposed to dangerous activities online.

Yottabyte used this funding to run bootcamps to build capacity across the country. These bootcamps were run by level three (L3) experts (along with expert guest speakers) and included participants from the public S\sector, private Sector, academia and fresh graduates. Where the budgets permitted, they ran full day hands on workshops with live labs on offensive and defensive strategies to equip participants to manage and avoid cyber incidents.

The National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) also participated in the event. The BootCamp featured immersive exercises under two specialized tracks—Blitz Brigade and Guardians Grid—ensuring a comprehensive learning experience in real-world cybersecurity applications.
