KRITIK ENERJI ALTYAPILARI IÇIN BIR YOL<br />

HARITASI: ALINAN DERSLER VE EN İYI<br />

UYGULAMALAR<br />

Kritik altyapılar için güvenliğin %100 sağlanması<br />

mümkün olmasa da, daha önce gerçekleşmiş<br />

siber saldırılardan çıkarılan dersler ve<br />

siber güvenlik anlamındaki en iyi uygulamalar<br />

kurumlar için önemli yol haritaları sunuyor.<br />

Bu çerçevede, Türkiye’deki kritik enerji<br />

altyapı profesyonelleri için birtakım öneriler<br />

getirmek mümkün:<br />

TÜRKİYE, DÜNYADA<br />

EN ÇOK SİBER<br />

SALDIRIYA UĞRAYAN<br />

6. ÜLKE.<br />

TURKEY IS THE<br />

SIXTH MOST<br />

FREQUENTLY<br />

TARGETED COUNTRY<br />

BY CYBER ATTACKS.<br />

Transportation, Maritime Affairs and<br />

Communications is considered as the primary<br />

course of action for the steps to be taken in<br />

the sense of cyber security in Turkey.<br />

National Cyber Incident Response Center<br />

(USOM) acts as the coordination mechanism<br />

in case Turkey encounters with a cyberattack.<br />

Other than that, a center was established<br />

in order for the cyber attacks to be<br />

reported and the reports made were as many<br />

as 23.475 until September 2014. The foundation<br />

of the Cyber Incident Response Team<br />

(SOME) was one of the most substantial<br />

steps. The institutional SOME efforts within<br />

Ministries and public institutions have been<br />

mostly completed and the efforts for establishing<br />

sectoral SOMEs are in progress.<br />

Cyber attacks against the energy sector constitute<br />

a major threat in Turkey. According to<br />

the US security firm Symantec, Turkish<br />

energy firms along with many European<br />

counterparts are facing attacks by the worm<br />

Dragonfly since the year of 2011. The cyberattack<br />

against TEİAŞ had wide media coverage<br />

in last November.<br />

All these developments lead us towards an<br />

important question: How prepared are the<br />

critical energy infrastructures in the prospective<br />

energy hub Turkey against a cyberattack<br />

In order to conduct this analysis in a<br />

systematic manner, first of all, relevant<br />

actors should answer certain questions:<br />

• What would be the sources of cyber<br />

attacks against critical energy infrastructures<br />

in Turkey<br />

• Which institutions could be targeted and<br />

to what degree<br />

• Which cyber weapons could be used in<br />

those cyber attacks<br />

• What would be the economic, commercial<br />

and social damages of those cyber attacks<br />

A ROADMAP FOR CRITICAL ENERGY<br />

INFRASTRUCTURES: LESSONS TAKEN AND<br />

BEST PRACTICES<br />

Even though it is impossible to provide<br />

100% security for critical infrastructures,<br />

the lessons taken from past cyber attacks<br />

and the best practices in the cyber security<br />

field provide significant roadmaps for institutions.<br />

In this framework, it is possible to<br />

offer several suggestions for CIP professionals<br />

in Turkey:<br />

• Integrated Security Concept: Cyber security<br />

concepts and policies should be considered<br />

within an integrated security system<br />

and should be included into institutional<br />

security policies. The security of the SCADA<br />
