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 society is proposed by taking these three concepts into account. As the final step, the recent cyber security efforts of Turkey are shared with the readers and assessed according to the determined key components.

Challenges of countering cyber terrorism in the hybrid war contexts
Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat (null; 2019-10-15)
This conference paper seeks to explore the characteristics of cyber terrorism and challenges of countering cyber terrorism in the hybrid war contexts. This conference paper also intends to highlight the difficulties of coping with the terrorist uses of the cyber space and social media when the perpetrators of cyber terrorist acts remain anonymous and the parties of hybrid warfare adhere to the principle of deniability constantly The conference paper puts forward the argument that the concept of cyber terror...
Identifying vulnerabilities of state estimators against cyber-attacks
Göl, Murat (null; 2013-11-04)
State estimation has an important role in the operation of power systems and associated power markets. It is well known that state estimators are vulnerable to any existing critical measurements since their errors cannot be detected. Therefore, by manipulating a finite number of critical measurements, a hacker can bias the results of state estimation without being detected. Those biased results include both system states (bus voltage magnitudes and angles) and branch flows that are calculated by using the s...
A vulnerability-driven cyber security maturity model for measuring national critical infrastructure protection preparedness
Karabacak, Bilge; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Baykal, Nazife (2016-12-01)
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, littl...
Exploring citizens' perception of government to citizen services: A model based on theory of planned behaviour (TBPss)
Kanat, Irfan Emrah; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2009-04-01)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of undertaking a systemic view of evaluating the success of government to citizen (G2C) services and identifying the salient factors related with citizens’ low adoption of G2C services. Design/methodology/approach – The paper adopts a quantitative case perspective and derives a conceptual research model that encompasses various dimensions of e-government that relate to citizen adoption behaviour within the framework of theory of planned be...
Effective measurement design for cyber security
Göl, Murat (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE); 2015-02-12)
Cyber-attacks against power systems have been widely researched in recent years. Several studies have so far focused on ways of deceiving the state estimator so that the resulting estimates would be wrong. On the other hand, the role of network topology and measurement design on detectability of cyber-attacks has not been widely investigated. This work examines the measurements and network topology to identify vulnerabilities against targeted cyber-attacks. Specifically, it considers the leverage measuremen...
