As CBERNET Bilgi Teknolojileri Danışmanlık A.Ş., we were very proud to participate as a speaker at TÜREK 2024, one of the most important wind energy events in Turkey. CBERNET Chairman Gökay TÜRKSÖNMEZ shared his comprehensive assessments on the rapidly growing cyber security needs in the wind energy sector and the critical importance of this area in the sector.

Mr. TÜRKSÖNMEZ emphasized the need to increase cyber security measures to ensure the security of energy infrastructures and maintain operational continuity, and discussed in depth the possible threats to wind energy facilities and the measures to be taken.

As CBERNET, we are aware that cyber security has become a strategic priority with the increasing digitalization in the energy sector and we are focused on developing sector-specific security solutions. In his presentation at TÜREK 2024, TÜRKSÖNMEZ explained the potential cyber threats to energy systems and the impact of these threats on the sector.

These security measures, which are critical for the business continuity of wind energy facilities, played a major role in making energy infrastructures more resilient. As CBERNET, we provided detailed information to our stakeholders in the sector about the innovative security solutions we offer and the benefits these solutions provide to the energy sector.

At the event, TÜRKSÖNMEZ emphasized how to close the security gaps that may occur in wind energy infrastructures and the cyber security strategies that can be implemented to increase the resilience of these systems. In addition, CBERNET’s expertise in this field and its sector-specific security solutions were introduced as effective and sustainable methods for the protection of energy infrastructures.

As CBERNET, by participating in TÜREK 2024, we emphasized that cyber security is a critical element in Turkey’s clean energy transformation and exchanged information with decision makers in the sector. This event was a great opportunity to introduce our security solutions to a wide audience and develop new collaborations. We were pleased to meet with all stakeholders of the industry at TÜREK 2024 and raise awareness about Turkey’s energy security.

As CBERNET, with our strong background in critical infrastructures and industrial automation, we continue our journey to provide cyber security and digital transformation solutions to production sites with a strategic partner.
In this direction, we are very proud to sign a partnership agreement with YEO Technology, one of Turkey’s leading engineering and technology companies!

Within the scope of this partnership, YEO Technology acquired 40% shares of CBERNET Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş., revealing the vision of growing our expertise in cyber security, network architecture and industrial digitalization together. This partnership coincides with our mission to offer pioneering solutions in the industry and maximize security in industrial transformation processes.

Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) amended the Regulation on Cyber Security Competency Model in the Energy Sector.
EMRA’s Regulation Amending the Regulation on Cyber Security Competency Model in the Energy Sector was published in the Official Gazette (28.01.2024).

Accordingly, electricity generation facilities that communicate with the Turkish Electricity Transmission Co. (TEİAŞ) Remote Control and Command Center (SCADA) or Energy Management System (EMS) without using serial-based communication methods and owners of electricity generation facilities with Black-Start feature were included within the scope of the Regulation on Cyber Security Competency Model in the Energy Sector.

In this context, we had a pleasant and productive planning meeting with esteemed ENERJISA officials. We would like to thank Mr. Soner Solak and the entire ENERJISA team for their kind invitation and hospitality.

As CBERNET, we are pleased to announce that we have started field studies to provide consultancy for EMRA Cyber Security Competency Model calendar, gap analysis and reporting.
