He was speaking at a dinner in Karachi on Sunday night hosted by traders and industrialists.
According to Musharraf, "conspiracies against the ISI were aimed at defaming Pakistan. ISI is a patriotic institution, which is working for the stability of the country", The News quoted the president as saying.
The ISI, which has been at the centre of numerous controversies, finds itself facing one of its toughest tests yet with the CIA releasing transcripts of what it claims are messages between one of its operatives and the attackers of the Indian embassy in Kabul last month.
Fifty people, including two Indian diplomats, had died in that attack.
US President George Bush, during his meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in Washington last month, is reported to have pointedly asked who the ISI's real boss was.
Confusion also prevails over the ISI's reporting line, with the order transferring it from the prime minister's secretariat to the interior ministry not having been formally withdrawn.
