In this study,Information Warfare (IW)and Information System (IS) security concept in the Turkish Land Forces Command (TLFC)are investigated.An approach that will enhance the success for a secure Information System to alleviate experienced risks is proposed.Starting with the general overview of the literature about IW and IS security,the relation between the concepts,the future,advantages and disadvantages of security development approaches,and the requirements for security are reviewed. Then the specific problems,security risks and IW threats of the TLFC are considered.After reviewing the specific problems,a proposal for IS security in Defensive Information Warfare process in the TLFC is presented and partially applied.The proposal is evaluated within the framework of a case study.The stronger points of the proposal are reviewed by comparing the proposed approach with some other approaches actually applied.

A proposed model for Turkish land forces command software intensive systems acquisition process Bilir, Nevzat; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2002) Turkish Land Forces Command uses information technology opportunities to satisfy its needs arising from the obligation for being a strong army.One of the main difficulties in using information technologies is the acquisition of these systems. This thesis reviews the fundamentals of software intensive systems acquisition process and then proposes a new model for Turkish Land Forces Command.Software acquisition process models are discussed and compared with each other.The current Turkish Land Forces Com...
A Conceptual Model for a Metric Based Framework for the Monitoring of Information Security Tasks’ Efficiency Sönmez, Ferda Özdemir (Elsevier BV; 2019) Information Security Governance Systems are not adequate to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of security tasks for the enterprises. Although some of the systems offer ways for measurement, they still need the definition of measurement objectives and metrics. This study proposes a conceptual framework mode which has human and tool/process related metrics. This system also allows the collection of evidence data for security-related tasks and ways to motivate the security staff to provide a more produc...
A Decision Support System for Optimal Selection of Enterprise Information Security Preventative Actions Sonmez, Ferda Ozdemir; Günel Kılıç, Banu (2021-09-01) Types and complexity of information security related vulnerabilities are growing rapidly and present numerous challenges to the enterprises. One of the key challenges is to identify the optimal set of precautions with limited budget. Despite the fact that majority of enterprises have a budget constraint for installing and maintaining the protection systems, the majority of the previous work only focus on prioritization of security targets and do not consider the preventative actions and budget constraints. ...
Collaborative risk method for information security management practices: A case context within Turkey Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2010-12-01) In this case study, a collaborative risk method for information security management has been analyzed considering the common problems encountered during the implementation of ISO standards in eight Turkish public organizations. This proposed risk method has been applied within different public organizations and it has been demonstrated to be effective and problem-free. The fundamental issue is that there is no legislation that regulates the information security liabilities of the public organizations in Tur...
The Organization for security and co-operation in europe in the post-cold war era: an analysis of its comprehensive approach to security Karaaslan, Hakan; Bağcı, Hüseyin; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of International Relations (2015) The main objective of the dissertation is to analyze the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s (OSCE) ‘comprehensive approach to security’ in its region in the new security environment of the post-Cold War era. This dissertation presents an in-depth analysis of the OSCE’s practices over three dimensions of security, namely politico-military, economic-environmental and human dimensions, within the conceptual framework of ‘comprehensive security’. Despite the ongoing debates on the relevancy ...
