The Turkish company TÜRKSAT announced the launch of its new platform, SORGU, an advanced information security management platform that aims to fully digitize cybersecurity operations in the public and private sectors. The platform seeks to enable organizations to detect and predict cyber risks before breaches occur, enhancing the national digital infrastructure's ability to face increasing threats.
The "SORGU" platform relies on TÜRKSAT's extensive expertise in the field of information security to provide a unified management center for IT infrastructure. The platform includes a set of integrated tools, including Asset Inventory management, risk analysis, compliance controls, and automated auditing processes.
Technical Mechanism and Continuous Monitoring
Technically, the platform works to identify all devices, software, and data within the organization's network, while tracking any changes to the infrastructure via a "Timeline" that records all versions and modifications. This system allows for the detection of any unauthorized access attempts or illegal configuration changes as they occur, preventing security vulnerabilities from turning into actual data breaches.
The platform also supports organizations in complying with national and international standards; it enables operation management in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard and the Information and Communication Security Guide (BİG) for Turkish government institutions. "SORGU" is characterized by its ability to automatically prepare an "Information and Communication Security Audit Results Report," facilitating the process of submitting periodic reports to the relevant authorities.
What Does This Development Change in Practice?
The launch of "SORGU" represents a shift from traditional response to attacks to proactive risk management. Instead of waiting for a breach to occur, the platform enables organizations to achieve several objectives:
- Protecting sensitive data: The platform plays a pivotal role in protecting citizens' personal data, such as health, financial, and educational records, by monitoring vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
- Prioritizing investments: By analyzing the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA Triad) criteria, the platform helps organizations identify the most critical systems and direct security investments toward the most vulnerable areas.
- Increasing operational efficiency: Through the automation of auditing processes and the use of specialized software algorithms to detect vulnerabilities, the platform reduces the administrative burden and increases the accuracy of monitoring and analysis.
This step by TÜRKSAT aims to enhance comprehensive digital security in Turkey and provide a more stable and secure technical environment for organizations that manage vital and sensitive data.
