In addition to cyberthreat dete ction and cyberincident response, including before, during and after incidents, the team ensures the implementation of preventive measures against cyberthreats and cyberdeterrence. The main focus areas relating to cybersecurity of the National Computer Emergency Response Team are: • Cyber capacity-building • Technological measures • Gathering and disseminating threat intelligence • Protection of critical infrastructure In the context of improving national cybersecurity, 14 sectoral computer emergency response teams for critical sectors or infrastructures (such as energy, health, banking and finance, water management, electronic communications and critical public services) and 1,803 institutional computer emergency response teams have been established since 2013. All computer emergency response teams operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, under the coordination of the national team, in order to mitigate cyberrisks and fight against cyberthreats. The National Computer Emergency Response Team uses detection and prevention tools for monitoring, and reporting tools for information-sharing with relevant parties. The National Computer Emergency Response Team developed the information-sharing platform for all computer emergency response teams within Turkey in order to distribute alarms, warnings and security notices, which provides an efficient and secure communications channel. The National Computer Emergency Response Team organizes and supports training courses, summer camps and competitions on cybersecurity open to several communities. In addition, the national team provides training to computer emergency response teams on topics such as malware analysis and log analysis. Mo re than 5,000 people have been trained in different areas of cybersecurity by the national team over the past four years. In addition, the Academy established within the Information and Communication Technologies Authority provides online training open to the public on cybersecurity and other related areas in order to contribute to increased expertise within Turkey’s human resources. The training content is available on the Academy ’s official web portal (www.btkakademi.gov.tr/portal). Several Turkish organizations, institutions, universities, non-governmental organizations and private sector entities also organize seminars, conferences and training nationwide on cybersecurity, the protection of critical infrastructure and other related topics. The annual Safer Internet Day is among the awareness-raising activities, and its main objective is the conscious and safe use of the Internet. An internet helpline and a safe web website, where families can find advice for efficient use of the Internet, is publicly available on the official safe web portal ( www.guvenlinet.org.tr/). Turkey also takes steps to counter heightened digital security risks to ensure cybersecurity and takes measures within the scope of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Malware, phishing attacks and other cyberthreats exploiting the trends of the COVID-19 pandemic are analysed by the National Computer Emergency Response Team, which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
