SOME Computer Security Incident Response Team
To combat cybercrime, countries establish administrative sanctions and take technical measures, while also preparing legal sanctions to ensure that crimes and criminals are not left unpunished. In our country, cybersecurity efforts are carried out with various administrative sanctions and penalties. Regarding cybercrimes, a Cyber Security Board has been established in our country, ensuring the tracking and control of important elements such as reports, programs, and coordination. It is essential for private institutions and organizations, as well as public institutions and organizations, to comply with the plans, programs, and procedures published by the Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications to ensure national cybersecurity.
