Cybersecurity: Türk Telekom launches domestic DDoS service
CYBERSECURITY attacks pose a threat to every institution, prompting many to take measures against security vulnerabilities.
Working to establish a robust cyber defense at global standards with indigenous and national solutions, Türk Telekom has prioritized Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection among its efforts in data security, threat management, and application security in recent years.
Collaborating with Labris Network, a research and development-focused network security solutions manufacturer, one of Türkiye’s leading telecommunications and technology companies has launched its domestic DDoS service.
Providing services round the clock with its expert team certified to global standards at Türkiye’s largest cybersecurity center, Türk Telekom continues to invest with the vision of protecting the national data.
Zeynep Özden, deputy general manager of Marketing and Customer Experience at Türk Telekom, emphasized the company’s comprehensive approach.
“As Türkiye’s leading information and communication technologies company, we serve a wide range of consumers and sectors, from official institutions to civil organizations. We view Türkiye as our potential customer entirely. We have created a customer-centric marketing universe with end-to-end solutions in every field,” said Özden.
“In the field of cybersecurity, we diversify our products and services based on the feedback we receive from this ecosystem we have created. We enrich our products and services with the contributions of R&D teams consisting of Turkish engineers and products developed by domestic cybersecurity companies. We offer end-to-end cybersecurity services for all sectors, from automotive to finance, ecommerce to health care,” she added.
INDIGENOUS SOLUTIONS
Continuing efforts to elevate Türkiye’s cybersecurity level, Özden highlighted that they offer their enriched product portfolio with domestic solutions and expert-certified cybersecurity engineers at the company’s cybersecurity center.
“As the first operator in the position of a cybersecurity service provider, we have been offering manageable security services to our corporate customers for over 10 years. With over 3,000 customers today, we are the largest cybersecurity operator in Türkiye. We provide 24/7 proactive services compliant with both Turkish and global standards. We will continue to increase solutions that strengthen the cybersecurity ecosystem, which we see as our national responsibility,” she noted.
PHISHING SIMULATION
With a vision of collaboration with local manufacturers alongside producing indigenous products, Türk Telekom continues its activities uninterrupted. Focusing on the phishing attacks among the top five attack trends in 2023 within the scope of efforts to produce local cybersecurity products, Türk Telekom created the “Altay Phishing Simulation” platform to increase organizations’ maturity against these attacks.
The company offers an end-to-end solution by measuring the cybersecurity maturity of corporate employees with standard and organization-specific templates and assigning relevant training. Additionally, by conducting DDoS attack simulations through more than 300 “bots” from network to application levels, Türk Telekom reveals organizations’ DDoS maturity matrix. The company continues its efforts to both develop specific products and increase field penetration for products at certain levels of maturity within the scope of local collaborations.
READY FOR DDOS ATTACKS
Supporting the domestic ecosystem with companies in the “Cyber Clustering” established under the Presidency’s Digital Transformation Office, Türk Telekom, in collaboration with Labris, the developer of Türkiye’s first commercial national security firewall, has launched its domestic DDoS service.
Aimed at preventing attacks that disrupt online services and cause damage in the digital realm, the domestic DDoS service ensures the continuity of corporate networks and online services against advanced and complex DDoS attacks, entrusting the security of over 5,000 critical infrastructures of its customers to national technologies.
With the investments in indigenous solutions, the company says it will continue to introduce new security products and services to its customers at Türkiye’s largest cybersecurity center simultaneously with the world.
