Critical infrastructures are vital assets for the public safety, economic welfare and national security of countries. Cyber systems are used extensively to monitor and control critical infrastructures. A number of infrastructures are connected to the Internet via corporate networks. Cyber security is, therefore, an important item of the national security agenda of a country. The intense interest in cyber security has initiated research focusing on national cyber security maturity assessments. However, little, if any, research is dedicated to maturity assessments of national critical infrastructure protection efforts. Instead, the vast majority of studies merely examine diverse national-level security best practices ranging from cyber crime response to privacy protection.

Regulatory approaches for cyber security of critical infrastructures: The case of Turkey Karabacak, Bilge; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Baykal, Nazife (2016-06-01) Critical infrastructures are vital assets for public safety, economic welfare and/or national security of countries. Today, cyber systems are extensively used to control and monitor critical infrastructures. A considerable amount of the infrastructures are connected to the Internet over corporate networks. Therefore, cyber security is an important item for the national security agendas of several countries. The enforcement of security principles on the critical infrastructure operators through the regulatio...
Developing and verifying a set of principles for the cyber security of the critical infrastructures of Turkey Karabacak, Bilge; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Information Systems (2015) Critical infrastructures are vital assets for countries as a harm given to critical infrastructures may affect public order, economic welfare and/or national security. Today, cyber systems are extensively used to control and monitor critical infrastructures. Therefore, cyber threats have the potential to adversely affect the order of societies and countries. In this PhD study, the root causes of the susceptibility of the critical infrastructures of Turkey to the cyber threats are identified by analyzing the...
An Impact assessment model for technology development programs Tiryaki, Erkan; Çakır, Serhat; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2020) Economic and social development of a country is directly related with the sustainable technology development capabilities and innovation capabilities of its own. Technology development activities are assumed to be the most challenging process of the R&D ecosystem. Mostly the public sector funds the technology development programs because of the required huge resources, difficulty in coordination of multiple partners and risky management stages. This dissertion aims to submit an impact assessment model for e...
From the National Cyber Maturity to the Cyber Resilience: An Assessment of the Strategic Efforts of Turkey Karabacak, Bilge; Tatar, Unal (2016-04-13) In this paper, the details of critical infrastructure protection program of the United States of America are shared by taking the cyber resilience into account. The academic and institutional studies on the concepts of cyber maturity, critical infrastructure protection program and cyber resilience are explained in detail. By the help of these studies and national efforts, the relations among these concepts are set forth. The key components of a cyber security strategy and action plan for a cyber-resilient s...
An assessment model for web-based information system effectiveness Tokdemir, Gül; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2009) Information System (IS) effectiveness assessment is an important issue for the organizations as IS have become critical for their survival. With the incorporation of Internet technologies into the business environment, it is now more difficult to measure IS effectiveness, because Internet provides a borderless, non-stop, flexible communication medium. Assessing the effectiveness of web-based information systems (WIS) is vital for survival and competitive advantage which is a complicated subject since there ...
