Defence and Cyber Security Platform in Virtual World
Cyber security, according to the definition of The International Telecommunication Union (UTI), is the creation and maintenance of security mechanism that can protect institutions, organizations end users’ assets. Besides affecting users and their assets, cyberattacks expose great risks to nationwide critical infrastructures such as military, financial, health and energy systems, and their utilization as a form of military threat among nations is a well known fact. For that reason, candidate Cyber Security strategy and solutions should be evaluated in the context of national security and encompass the whole cyberspace simultaneously with the same depth and resolution. To this end, Turkey presented its Cyber Security strategy under the title of ‘’National Cybersecurity Strategy and 2013-2014 Action Plan’’ on June 20,2014.
Efforts related to the strategic plan, action plans and policies supporting them are in progress. Cyber Security Council where the representatives of such critical institutions as TSK (Turkish Military Forces) CyberDefence Center and EGM (General Directorate of Security) Cybercrime Center take place can be considered the most important step.
C2TECH, a company developing national solution and products of Network Intelligence and Cyber Security, plays an active role in Turkey in the are. C2TECH has a very deep and broad expertise on monitoring massive scale network traffic. Its NetRASAT and the other Cyber Security solutions can reveal a detailed image of users activities to security analists with its ability to capture low level packets and reconstruct the traffic.
Traditional Cyber Security solutions are inadequate to avoid the constantly increasing and evolving cyberattacks of todys-‘s world. Particularly, in the face of diverse attacks exploiting unknown vulnerabilities, it has became indispensible to modify the ‘’Successful Defence’’ definition from ‘’keeping attackers outside’’ to ‘’they can infilitrate at times, but we can detect early’’. In order for Cyber Security experts to detect traffic anomalies and suspicious activities quickly, developing real-time traffic monitoring systems has emerged s as prominent requirement. Cyber Intelligence is a real-time situational awareness platform analysing online network traffic s well as the records acquired from critical infrastructures and the other units.
