The goal of the study is to provide an empirical foundation for policymakers to develop a comprehensive framework for CFI in the country, and to offer insights and recommendations for improving the infrastructure to better combat cybercrime in Pakistan. BT - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) DA - 2023 DO - 10.1109/ACCESS.2023.3268529 N1 - The current cyber landscape of Pakistan is facing numerous challenges, including a lack of cyber security awareness, a shortage of trained personnel, and a weak investigation infrastructure. Moreover, Pakistan is particularly vulnerable to cybercrime challenges, as it lags in technological and organizational initiatives. The implementation of CFIs holds great potential in addressing these challenges and improving the overall cyber security posture of the country. By providing a structured and comprehensive approach to identifying and investigating cybercrime, CFI can help to build a more secure and resilient cyber environment in Pakistan. While the implementation of CFI may hold potential in addressing some of the challenges facing the current cyber landscape of Pakistan, there are concerns about its efficacy and feasibility. For instance, the allocation of sufficient resources and funding towards CFI may prove to be a challenge, especially in a country where there is a limited budget for cybersecurity initiatives. Additionally, the shortage of trained personnel may also affect the implementation of CFI, as the lack of skilled professionals would limit its ability to effectively address the complex cyber threats facing the country. Furthermore, the legal and ethical implications of CFI, such as the protection of personal data and privacy rights, must be carefully considered and addressed to ensure that its implementation aligns with the values and principles of the country. It is important to ensure that the implementation of CFI is guided by proper legal, ethical, and technical frameworks to protect the privacy and rights of individuals and organizations. In conclusion, CFI represents a crucial step towards strengthening the cyber security posture of Pakistan and addressing the challenges facing its current cyber landscape.
