Pakistan Learning Nest has announced a specialized training workshop focused on SBP Cyber Shield Cyber Resilience Priorities 2025 to 2030, aimed at helping financial institutions and regulated entities strengthen their cybersecurity posture in line with evolving regulatory expectations. Scheduled to take place in Karachi on July 8, 2026, at Movenpick Hotel, the session is designed to provide participants with practical guidance on implementing cyber resilience measures, managing emerging cyber risks, enhancing compliance readiness, and supporting business continuity objectives. The workshop follows strong industry interest in cybersecurity governance and resilience frameworks as organizations across Pakistan continue to adapt to an increasingly complex threat landscape and evolving regulatory requirements.
The training program will focus on the key priorities outlined under SBP Cyber Shield Cyber Resilience framework, providing attendees with insights into how institutions can develop and enhance cybersecurity strategies that align with industry expectations. Participants will explore approaches for strengthening cyber resilience frameworks, identifying and responding to evolving cyber threats, and building organizational capabilities that support operational continuity during disruptive incidents. The session is expected to address both strategic and operational considerations, helping professionals understand how cybersecurity, risk management, and compliance functions can work together to create a more resilient digital environment. With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, organizations are placing greater emphasis on preparedness, governance, and the development of structured frameworks that enable effective response and recovery capabilities.
The workshop will be led by Kamran Meer, a cybersecurity and risk management professional with extensive experience across the banking, government, telecommunications, and financial services sectors. His credentials include CISSP, CISA, PCI QSA, and SANS Adversary Emulation certification. Kamran Meer currently serves as Director of Global Risk and has previously held senior information security leadership roles, including Chief Information Security Officer positions at HBL, Bank Alfalah, UBL, FBR, and Etisalat Middle East. Drawing on experience gained across multiple industries, the session is expected to provide participants with practical perspectives on implementing cybersecurity controls, managing regulatory obligations, strengthening governance structures, and developing resilience programs capable of addressing modern cyber challenges. The training will also provide context around how organizations can align cybersecurity investments with broader business objectives while maintaining compliance with sector specific expectations.
