The work of the USOM, which has been subordinate to the Information Technologies and Communications Authority (BTK) since 2013, is strategically important for security in the digital world.
In this context, the center conducts a variety of studies on topics such as the security of critical infrastructure, the protection of personal data, increasing the country's defense capability and expanding the digital economy.
BTK's efforts in this area represent a strategic framework aimed at strengthening Türkiye's position in the field of cybersecurity.
Possible weak points are prevented
By continuing its work with these efforts, USOM is preventing potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the country.
The number of Cyber Incident Response Teams (SOME) within the USOM, which was 2,205 last year, is expected to reach 2,300 by the end of this year. The goal is to increase the number of teams to 2,310 next year.
While the number of skilled workers, which stood at 7,465 last year, is expected to reach 8,300 by the end of this year, it is expected to increase to 8,350 next year.
17 million IP addresses are scanned immediately
The center constantly scans 17 million IP addresses for cyber security vulnerabilities. 422 serious attacks and 11 million malicious access requests are blocked every day. In this context, 140,000 serious attacks were prevented last year.
It is predicted that the number of 104,000 708 malicious links disclosed by USOM this year will drop to 85,000 next year.
In addition to the center, we work in the area of cyber defense with operators such as Türk Telekom, Turkcell and Vodafone.
The level of preparedness for cyber incidents is increased through training, competitions and exercises as part of USOM's cyber capacity building. Technological measures are used to develop rapid detection and early intervention options for cyber incidents. Threat and cybersecurity data collection and production as well as bilateral information sharing and coordination activities are carried out with national and international stakeholders. Regulatory, audit, monitoring and vulnerability scanning activities are carried out to protect critical infrastructure.
Priorities include continuing the fight with rapid detection and early intervention by ensuring coordination with national and international stakeholders on the collection, production and sharing of cyber threat intelligence. Regulation and supervision to ensure national cybersecurity are also part of the list of activities.
Cyber security shields
In addition to these studies, projects to prevent harmful content are also being developed.
As part of the studies, local and national AVCI, AZAD, KASIRGA and ATMACA projects, developed entirely with in-house resources, make significant contributions to national cybersecurity.
AVCI detects systems infected with malware.
Using artificial intelligence, AZAD works to detect and block phishing addresses targeting citizens before or as they become active.
KASIRGA ensures continuity of services by scanning the country's Internet-accessible resources, including public facilities and critical infrastructure, for vulnerabilities.
With ATMACA, hundreds of sub-risks of vulnerabilities are proactively prevented.
In addition to these projects, experts in the field of cybersecurity are trained. The Applied Cybersecurity Training Laboratory established under the FETİH Human Resources Development Project provides participants with the opportunity to conduct cybersecurity tests in real-world scenarios and improve their skills.
