PTA Clarifies Reports of Acquiring Advanced Firewalls For Controlling Internet in Pakistan

Recent rumors circulating in newspapers and on social media regarding PTA’s tender for the acquisition of next-generation and web applications firewalls for monitoring and controlling of national internet and social media are inaccurate, a PTA Spokesperson said in a statement on Monday.

“It is clarified that the tender is meant for acquisition of firewalls intended for sole use on PTA’s internal IT infrastructure. The procurement is aimed at enhancing the security of PTA’s internal systems and will be used exclusively at PTA’s primary data center and its Disaster Recovery (DR) site,” the statement said.

The regulator added that PTA has issued a tender for the acquisition of four Next-Generation Firewalls and two Web Application Firewalls. This move is to ensure robust, layered security for PTA’s internal network and applications only.
