Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa visited the newly-raised Army Cyber Command and its two main components — Cyber Division and Army Centre of Emerging Technologies, the military said on Friday.
“Nature and character of warfare are changing. Firepower and cyber have emerged as the mainstay of future war and we need to enhance our capability and capacity in these domains,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) quoted the army chief as saying.
“The newly-raised Cyber Command shall progressively be linked to Tri-Services level and will also form part of national cyber initiatives to have synergy at a national level," the COAS added.
