Sakarya University (SAU) Critical Infrastructure established in the School of Computing and Informatics within the National Test Bed Center, methods against possible cyber attacks on electricity distribution in Turkey and the water management area to be developed.
Developing domestic and national integrated cyber security solutions, STM Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret A.Ş. The center, which was established in SAU in 14 months and opened in February, will host studies that will ensure the security of electricity distribution and water management infrastructures.
In the center, where energy and water management systems are modeled, it is aimed to model academic studies as models in real environment and to increase the initiatives on domestic and national production.
With the project planned within the scope of "critical infrastructures" that are important in the cyber security environment, it is aimed to localize the control systems and to ensure the security of these systems with national means.
"Critical infrastructures are an indispensable part of national security"
The coordinator of the center and SAU Computer and Informatics Faculty Computer Engineering Department academic staff member Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Ozcelik, AA correspondent, energy sector, transport, telecommunications, banking, finance, public services in areas such as Turkey by the Board of Cyber Security "critical infrastructure" as defined, he said.
Pointing out that critical infrastructures are an indispensable part of national security, Özçelik said, "When there is a cyber attack on any critical infrastructure, electricity may go away, there may be poisoning in an attack on water treatment systems. he spoke.
Özçelik explained that the attack on Iran's nuclear power plants in 2010 was accepted as the milestone of attacks on critical infrastructures and said, "Each of the different attacks after that caused the disruption of the society and the state order. thousand people for 6 hours were left without electricity. in order to develop cyber defense solutions in this area, managing the system and in order to create awareness against those who carried out these attacks have established a first in this center in Turkey. in the US in the international arena, Japan, Singapore a project whose examples exist. " used the expressions.
"We aim to develop national products that will prevent cyber attacks"
Prof. Dr. Özçelik stated that they are conducting research on the work they can do at the center by taking the cyber attacks around the world as an example.
Sauer's critical infrastructure with relevant Turkey the most expert resources to the university for that transfer Ozcelik, "in order to produce local and national products in cyber defense point in Turkey using this test bed center, we aim to develop products against possible cyber attacks. The University has cyber security expert We want to create added value by using these infrastructures to train people such as and engineers. " said.
Stating that all kinds of work will be carried out in the center to increase the resilience of critical infrastructures against cyber defense by working with national and international universities, cyber security companies and institutions working in this field, Özçelik said, "We cannot be 100 percent ready for a possible cyber attack. We are trying to create added value in this regard. When a threat actor wants to make a cyber attack, we are working to increase the time to seize the system and find their traces. " he spoke.
Ozcelik, the university also Turkey's first "SAE Cyberspace" voicing established is Cyber Security Student Society, 2014 of since thrown in the seeds, he added that cyber security and critical infrastructure and create a backlog in the area.
