The assessment evaluated compliance with security requirements designed to safeguard telecom networks and strengthen the resilience of digital services.
Speaking on the achievement, PTML Chief Technology Officer Awais Vohra said cybersecurity was essential to maintaining public trust in an increasingly connected society.
“Cybersecurity is fundamental to building trust in a hyper-connected society like ours,” he said.
Vohra welcomed the company’s third consecutive top ranking, attributing the achievement to its security standards, regulatory compliance and efforts to protect critical telecom infrastructure.
He reaffirmed PTML’s commitment to contributing to a secure and resilient digital environment in Pakistan.
