INFORMATION SECURITY - THE SHIELD OF ENTERPRISES IN THE DIGITAL AGE

The rapid pace of technological advancement alongside the digital transformation trend has completely changed the level of security needed in the digital space, where everything can communicate with each other, connect digitally, and creativity forms intelligent systems, improving the business processes of most enterprises. Information technology plays a core role in the success of businesses and directly impacts the daily tasks of individuals. It can be said that information technology is the key driver of development in many fields, and its importance is increasingly being affirmed through the rapid development of digital solutions and services tailored to the specificities of each sector. This rapid development is both advantageous, providing business development opportunities, and challenging, as organizations and businesses face the pressure to ensure information systems are secure, mitigate cybersecurity risks, and maintain continuous business operations, including fostering innovation to drive business in the digital environment. Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with more complex attack techniques causing significant financial losses and reputational damage to organizations and businesses. Therefore, Information Security takes on the responsibility of maintaining stable and secure operations, ensuring the continuity of business activities for organizations and enterprises in the face of these challenges.

From the perspective of businesses, the level of investment in enterprise information security solutions and the standardization of technology solutions to proactively identify and prevent vulnerabilities before they are exploited in attacks are among the new challenges. Therefore, it can be said that "the best defense plan is actually an offense" by standardizing existing systems and making appropriate investments. Keeping up with this change, the HPT Information Security Center (HPT Cyber Security Center - HSE) was established with the mission to accompany organizations and businesses in ensuring information security, privacy, and continuity in business operations through professional cybersecurity services. These services can be fully delegated, offer high investment efficiency, and help organizations and businesses focus on core business activities.
