Turkey has taken important roles in many organizations, either by being a founding member or by contributing to cooperation efforts on cybersecurity and information security issues. Hence Turkey seeks to ensure cybersecurity by exchanging information and ideas in a large range of areas with various countries and organizations, on policymaking, capacity-building and information-sharing. Since cyberspace is a borderless field, international cooperation is a must for fighting against cyberthreats. Because of this, Turkey regularly follows and participates in international studies on cybersecurity within the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Union, the Organizatio n for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and other international org anizations and institutions. In addition, ensuring cybersecurity is targeted by setting up bilateral agreements with various States.

Turkey participates in and contributes to meetings of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development about security and privacy and the OSCE informal working group on cybersecurity. Meetings of the Regional Arms Control Verification and Implementatio n Assistance Centre are followed, and cooperation on various issues has been developing.
