'To be strong, deterrent and respected globally, you must accelerate efforts in cyberspace and strengthen cybersecurity measures,' President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says.
Recent wars and conflicts in the region, particularly in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran, once again demonstrated the importance of cybersecurity, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.“If you want to be strong, deterrent, and respected on the global stage, you must accelerate your efforts in cyberspace and take the necessary cybersecurity measures,” Erdogan said on Tuesday, speaking at Strong Türkiye in Communication with 5G Ceremony at the Presidential Complex in Ankara.
In the data age we live in, political stability, economic independence, military deterrence, and digital sovereignty are not separate from one another, he said.“If you can control your borders but cannot control your airspace, and if you cannot protect your cyber homeland and your data, then there is a serious vulnerability in your sovereignty,” he added.Erdogan said that Türkiye will gradually implement additional measures in the coming period to strengthen the security of data belonging to state institutions.“Our law enforcement and intelligence agencies, along with our relevant institutions, are successfully implementing preventive measures, action plans, and counter-measures to be prepared for every possible scenario,” he said.“We view cybersecurity not merely as a reaction to threats, but as an integral part of our national security,” he added.The 5G will be rolled out in all 81 provincial centres initially, to be available across the country within two years, said Erdogan.
