The Information Age… Today, the most important factor that distinguishes companies, states, and individuals from one another is what they know. If you want to be strong, trusted, and valued, the most effective way to outpace your competitors is through information.
We live in an era where business operations cannot be conducted without being connected to online systems. From order management to material supply, and from production planning to order delivery, all processes are carried out through information systems. To increase accessibility and efficiency, companies provide their employees with access to company information on their smartphones, significantly speeding up operations.
However, this situation also poses major risks for information security. Large corporate companies have recognized this and have established departments like Global Cyber Security within their organizations. They continuously train their employees on information security and invest significantly in IT security infrastructure. But are these measures enough? Is everyone aware of the risks?
Methods such as electronic eavesdropping devices, unauthorized access to employees' emails, and control of technology storing company data through password cracking are just a few examples of information theft mentioned in this field.
In addition, information is often purchased from current employees, especially those specialized in certain areas, usually for money. Information is gathered due to insufficient precautions during visits, and foreign students and interns are frequently offered unpaid work in university and company research and development departments, allowing them to infiltrate the company. Such cases are common in modern industrial espionage, yet most companies subjected to this do not even realize their information has been leaked.
