IT Security Summit Türkiye
Securing an AI-Powered Business
Register Now Become a PartnerNavigating the New Frontier of Trust, Compliance and Innovation
Türkiye’s cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving, strengthened by forward-looking regulations and the new Cybersecurity Law No. 7545. As digital transformation accelerates, organizations face more complex threats, making cyber-resilience and sovereign security essential priorities.
The rise of AI is reshaping the ecosystem, creating powerful opportunities as well as new risks. IDC forecasts that AI investments across the Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa will exceed USD 14.6 billion by 2028, with Generative and agentic AI becoming strategic focus areas.
As Türkiye advances its digital vision, cybersecurity is shifting from a compliance requirement to a driver of trust, innovation, and competitiveness.
Join IDC’s experts to explore Türkiye’s evolving threat landscape and gain practical frameworks that elevate security from a reactive function to a strategic advantage.
About Us
Our Vision
Celebrating 11th edition of the IDC Türkiye Security Summit, this year we will deeply focus on Regulation, Resilience and Value Creation, Digital Sovereignty and Trust Architecture and Future-Ready Technology and Modernization, AI, Automation and Responsible Innovation, Operations, Analytics and Resilience Engineering, The Human Factor: Leadership and Culture, Incident and Trust Recovery, Sector and Domain Security Challenges, Zero Trust Architecture & Cloud Security.
Bringing together CISOs, security architects and regulatory/compliance leads alongside IDC analysts, the summit will have high-level sessions designed for business and IT leaders to get both strategic foresight (what’s coming) and practical roadmaps (what to do now) for securing the digital future.

IDC Spotlight
Hızla gelişen siber güvenlik ortamında, IDC’nin “FutureScape: Worldwide Security and Trust 2025 Predictions” raporu, kuruluşların yeni ortaya çıkan tehditlere ve teknolojilere uyum sağlamasının kritik önemini vurgulamaktadır. 2025 yılında şirketlerin odak noktası siber dayanıklılığı artırmak ve sofistike siber saldırılarla mücadele etmek için gelişmiş güvenlik önlemlerini entegre etmektir. Kimlik ve erişim yönetimi, bulut güvenliği ve yapay zeka odaklı çözümler yatırım için kilit alanlar olmayı sürdürmektedir. Kuruluşlar, dijital varlıklarını korumak ve giderek daha sıkı hale gelen düzenlemelere uyum sağlamak için bu teknolojilere öncelik vermektedir. IDC’nin güvenlik ve güven odağındaki tahminleri, riskleri azaltmak ve hassas bilgileri korumak için sürekli izleme ve hızlı müdahale yeteneklerinin temel olduğu siber güvenliğe proaktif bir yaklaşımın gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.
Öte yandan, Türkiye pazarında özellikle tespit ve müdahale, operasyonel teknoloji güvenliği ve kimlik yönetimi gibi alanlarda yönetilen güvenlik hizmetlerine yönelik güçlü bir talep sürmektedir. Türkiye’deki şirketler, bir yandan ekonomik belirsizlikler ve yapay zeka teknolojilerinin yaygınlaşmasıyla mücadele ederken, diğer yandan da iş hedefleriyle uyumlu kapsamlı güvenlik stratejilerine duyulan ihtiyaca odaklanmaktadır. Aynı zamanda şirketler, genişleyen tehdit yüzeyinin getirdiği zorlukların üstesinden gelmek için sağlam siber dayanıklılık çerçeveleri oluşturmakta ve AI/ML güvenlik çözümlerinden yararlanmaktır.
