ISTANBUL (TR) - Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important for everyone from corporations to individuals, where everything from coffee machines to refrigerators, from smart homes to cars is connected to the internet. In almost every 40 seconds in the world, the data of one company is being captured by cyber attackers. 71% of cyber attacks are carried out in Turkey against SMEs with less than 100 employees. Research shows that 1 out of 2 SMEs have been exposed to different levels of cyber attacks, while the victimization of such an attack lasts an average of 50 days and the flow of workflows to a halt.

While the risk of cyber attacks for SMEs increases to 61% today, IT experts predict that threats to SMEs with low cybersecurity literacy will increase. Another point that experts agree is that the biggest reason for hackers to turn to SMEs rather than targeting large corporations is that these small businesses that do not have the necessary awareness and security measures are very easy targets and their systems can be seized very fast.
