Abstract

Users are seen as the weakest link in the information security chain. While many systems are installed to provide information security in institutions, they cannotprovide full security and cannot prevent some attacks from reaching users. For this reason, enterprise information security can not be mentioned without going down to the end-user level. The most common attack type against end-users is phishing attacks. The purpose of this study is to develop an phishing experiment to determine the users’ awareness level of information security and to determine the points that should be considered in case of phishing experiments to obtain accurate results.

Oltalama Saldırıları Farkındalık Tatbikatı Örneği

Abstract

Kullanıcılar bilgi güvenliği zincirinde en zayıf halka olarak görülmektedir. Kurumlarda bilgi güvenliğini sağlamaya yönelik pek çok sistem kurulsa da bunlar tam bir güvenlik sağlayamamakta, bazı saldırıların kullanıcılara ulaşmasını engelleyememektedir. Bu nedenle son kullanıcı seviyesine inmeden kurumsal bir bilgi güvenliğinden bahsedilemez. Kullanıcılara yönelik saldırıların başındaoltalama saldırıları gelmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kullanıcıların bilgi güvenliği farkındalık düzeylerini tespit etmeye yönelik bir oltalama tatbikatının geliştirilmesi ve doğru sonuçlar elde etmek için oltalama tatbikatlarında dikkat edilmesi gereken hususların belirlenmesidir.

Keywords

Bilgi güvenliği, Kullanıcı farkındalığı, Sosyal mühendislik, Oltalama
