CYBERSECURITY IN CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES AND CYBER TERRORISM: A STRATEGIC ANALYSIS ON TÜRKİYE

Abstract

Cyber-attacks that may pose a threat to critical infrastructures (CI) have the potential to cause wide-ranging negative effects ranging from economic losses to service interruptions and social chaos. Türkiye is in a high-risk group against cyber-attacks due to its strategic geographical location and rapidly digitalizing infrastructures. Denial of service attacks on energy grids, ransomware threats in health infrastructures and data breaches on banking systems are concrete examples of the cyber security vulnerabilities that Türkiye faces. The study addresses the global dimension of cyber threats by taking into account large-scale cyber-attacks experienced internationally (e.g. Estonia, Ukraine and the US Colonial Pipeline cases) and examines the local effects of these threats with examples specific to Türkiye. The study evaluates Türkiye’s current policies, legal regulations and defense strategies against threats. In the fight against cyber threats, the development of domestic and national technologies, strengthening cooperation at global, regional, national, international and institutional levels, international information sharing and the establishment of proactive response mechanisms against cyber threats are among the prominent strategic measures. In this context, cyber security is not only a technical issue; it is a necessity in terms of national security, economic sustainability and social stability. It is a major priority for Türkiye to increase its cyber security capacity and make its critical infrastructure more resilient against future threats.
