(MENAFN- B2Press) cyber security was emphasized this year in the Global Risks Report, in which the World Economic Forum evaluates the risks that await the world in the medium and long term every year. Berqnet Cyber Security Technologies General Manager Hakan Hintoğlu said,“Cyber security is the biggest technology risk of the next 10 years”.
TURKEY - Rapid digitalization at all levels of the business world has made businesses more vulnerable to cyber threats. The latest Global Risks Report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF) has also proven that cyber security has become one of the worrying risks of the future. In the 18th edition of the report, in which WEF shared insights into the risks threatening the world in the short and long term, published in January 2023, the title"pervasive cybercrime and cyber insecurity" was among the top 10 risks.
Sharing his assessments on the subject, Hakan Hintoğlu, General Manager of Berqnet Cyber Security Technologies, said, "As noted in the report, cyber risks seriously threaten not only the business world but also agriculture, access to water, financial systems, public security, transportation, energy and communication infrastructure."
The purpose and characteristics of cyber threats have changed The Global Security Outlook report published by the World Economic Forum after the Global Risks Report emphasized that the characteristics of cyber threats have changed. The survey, which suggested that respondents think cyberattackers are targeting business disruptions and reputational damage, highlighted the responses of 43% of leaders predicting that a cyberattack will financially impact their organization within the next two years.
Emphasizing that cyber threats have deepened with the addition of global geopolitical instability on top of rapid digitalization, Hakan Hintoğlu said,“The news that an attacker group, which is stated to be financed by the North Korean state, is behind a cyber attack against 3CX, which offers communication systems, reveals the reflections of geopolitical tensions on cyber incidents at first hand. The priority agenda of the leaders is also shaped in this direction, and the events increasingly affect how organizations operate and the countries they invest in.”
Worries in 2022 continue in 2023 Hakan Hintoğlu, who stated that according to the survey of the global consultancy company PwC, in 2022, 58% of CEOs see cyber attacks as huge threats, and they are most worried about this issue, said,“Even though inflation and macroeconomic fluctuations lead in the 2023 results, in the medium and long term. We see that cyber risks are among the top 5 threats. The way leaders deal with these risks is to strengthen cybersecurity-oriented controls for third parties and develop internal solutions for cyber risk management. Today, large enterprises are working with many partners in more than one country, and many enterprises are managing digital transformation projects by making large technology investments; the need for solutions that will respond to cyber risks from end-to-end increases.”
“We offer effective protection for business continuity and reputation” Emphasizing that they offer Turkey's first Secure Access Service (SASE) solution developed with 100% domestic R&D, Berqnet Cyber Security Technologies General Manager Hakan Hintoğlu concluded his evaluations with the following words:“The SASE platform we developed as Berqnet provides effective end-to-end protection against cyber threats. Our solutions comply with the laws numbered 5651 and KVKK and are priced in Turkish Lira with the subscription model.
