Türkiye is facing major cybersecurity challenges with 1.5 million attacks in 2024
With the acceleration of digital transformation, electronic attacks have become a major threat all over the world, including in Türkiye. These attacks are not limited to large companies, but they also target small and medium -sized companies (SMES), which exposes the continuity of their business through data violations, ransom losses, and financial losses.
The increase in electronic attacks, especially data violations and cyber devices, rose from the financial damage of companies, undermined their reputation and disrupting their operations. Small and medium -sized companies, in particular, bound these threats, struggling to enhance cybersecurity infrastructure due to limited resources.
Competitiveness in danger
In 2024, Türkiye witnessed approximately 1.5 million electronic attacks, according to Artuğ Tikiç, General Manager of cybersecurity berqnet.
“The network -based attacks have increased by 2,340 %, raising the total number of electronic attacks to 1.5 million.
Due to its limited budgets and resources, small and medium -sized companies often fail to implement strong measures for cybersecurity, making them easy targets for electronic criminals.
Tiki added that the repercussions go beyond companies, affect customers, partners and even local economies.
“Data theft, service disorders, and confidence loss significantly reduce the prospects for survival from small and medium -sized companies. Moreover, such attacks offer a digital journey in Türkiye and global competitiveness.”
Cyber Security Law
To reduce the economic and societal effects of electronic attacks on Türkiye, coordinated efforts between the public and private sectors are essential.
In this context, the recently -yearly cybersecurity law, which was approved by the Great National Assembly of Türkiye (TBMM), represents the beginning of a new chapter in digital security.
Under the new law, public institutions and private sector entities are encouraged to give priority to local and national technologies in cybersecurity applications.
This initiative aims to enhance digital security, but also aims to reduce Türkiye's dependence on foreign technology and enhance the competitiveness of local producers.
Strategic sectors such as energy, transportation, health care, financing and communication now bear a greater responsibility in protecting digital security under this framework.
Critical infrastructure protection
The new regulations also provide advanced security standards and compliance requirements to protect the critical infrastructure owned by both the public and private sectors. The vital sectors, including transportation, communication, energy and health care, will be more flexible against electronic attacks and must adhere to the specific technical security standards.
Tiki stressed the importance of these measures for local technology producers.
He said: “The new law is a strong step in supporting the development of local cybersecurity manufacturers. It not only enhances the country's digital security, but also puts Türkiye more firmly in global competition with the technologies produced using our own resources.”
“In Berqnet, we are ready to contribute to this transformation through the 100 % developed research and development experiences to meet the needs of cybersecurity for public and private sectors.”
Türk Telekom, record the ZTE group with an optical transportation test
Since the Internet infrastructure is still the cornerstone of global competitiveness, Türk Telekom, a leading telecom company in Türkiye, continues to implement innovative and sustainable solutions to meet technology requirements from the next generation.
The company has focused on processing the traffic traffic traffic while determining the priority of capacity enhancement and energy efficiency.
Türk Telekom, in cooperation with the leading global technology company ZTE, achieved standard speeds in visual transport tests between the continents over the network that passes the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul.
Test display, which reached 1.6 Terpene per second (TBPS), large energy savings and the ability to transfer improved data, preaching the right of a new era of digital infrastructure in Türkiye.
The experience made the first operator for Türk Terekom Türkiye to achieve visual transmission speed 1.6 TBPS using the advanced thick transmission technology (DWDM).
ZTE DWDM network in Istanbul, which carries a large part of the city data movement, facilitated this pioneering test. Using the C6thz and L6THz ranges widely, the connection between the continents has reached a record speed on one channel, which led to noticeable improvements in power and energy efficiency.
