PRESS RELEASE 06.08.2015 Information Phone: 0212 339 31 84 10 Advices to Help You Instill Network Security in Your Corporation Nizamettin Meral, Teknoser Network and Security Solutions Manager, evaluated cyber attacks against corporations and how to prevent them. Pointing out internal attacks are more common than those from outside, Meral insisted it is possible to prevent or get over any attack, giving 10 advices for corporations who seek measure. According to Nizamettin Meral, Teknoser Network and Security Solutions Manager, cyber threats evolve in the course of time; nevertheless, important steps are taken regarding IT security as well: “In comparison with the situation a few years ago, many revolutionary improvements are now in use regarding security in terms of technology, methodology and hardware.” Nizamettin Meral divides the threatening attacks on information security in two, as internal and external attacks, adding that “External attacks often draw more attention; however, cyber attacks from inside are much more common in percentage. Very few of internal attacks are malevolent and deliberate. Mostly, they come true due to unconsciousness of users, insufficient corporate security policies and shortage in infrastructure.” Prohibitions and denials are not the solution Meral emphasizes that prohibitions and access denials cannot be as effective as expected for attack prevention: “Today, it is no more a ‘trend topic’ to base informatics security on denial of social media platforms or such prohibitions. The important thing is to ensure network access at any time by any device to the source and point allowed pursuant to security policies. Remember; corporations which give a place to security policies and practices will always be one step ahead.” According to Nizamettin Meral, if corporations want to prevent internal and external cyber attacks and get over them without harm, they should seek specialist assistance: “It is possible to receive support of system integrator companies specialized on security consultancy. Today, even many system integrator companies have difficulty in rendering basic network and infrastructure services at a healthy and sustainable level; therefore, it is hardly an advisable methodology for corporations to solve such problems on their own.” Advices by Meral for corporations are as follows: In course of preparing plans and projects on informatics security, remember that networks no more exclusively consist of computers. Any device, including tablets and smart phones can participate in your corporate network at anytime and anywhere.
