Abstract
Nuclear weapons revolutionized security affairs after Hiroshima and Nagasaki annihilation.
States went nuclear eventually after the United States, Russia, UK, France and China but India
and Pakistan joined that exclusive club too in 1974 and 1998 respectively. Nuclear weapons a
source of security motivated Israel, Iran and North Korea too. Another development that started
undermining nuclear security itself was cyber warfare. Pakistan being developing country in the
list of Global Innovation Index finds it hard to catch up with other leading nations in science and
technology. Leading countries including US, Russia, China, UK, Germany, France etc are not
safe from cyber-threats they face then how Pakistan can be considered safe against cybersabotaging to its strategic weapons. Pakistan‟s nuclear security though has gained better levels
but cyber security is the field that requires comprehensive strategy to establish cyber nuclear
doctrine. China being reliable strategic partner can be a resourceful partner unlike other great
powers. This strategy would add much security to Pakistan‟s already existing nuclear security
and would open new avenues of cooperation with international organizations to gain next
milestone of Nuclear Suppliers‟ Group membership.
