Why This Report Matters for CEOs

Cyber risk in Turkiye affects more than IT systems. Data breaches, access sales, ransomware, phishing, and stolen payment data can disrupt operations, expose sensitive information, damage customer confidence, and create financial or regulatory consequences. The concentration of Dark Web claims around information, finance, retail, entertainment, and manufacturing shows that attackers are targeting sectors with valuable data and strong monetization potential.

Business leaders should treat cybersecurity as a strategic business risk. Strong cyber resilience, intelligence-driven visibility, identity protection, ransomware readiness, phishing defense, and business continuity planning are essential for protecting operations, customers, revenue, and long-term stability in Turkiye’s evolving threat landscape.
