1. General Overview of Laws and Regulators 1.1 Cybersecurity Regulation Strategy Cybersecurity has been at the forefront of Tür - kiye’s strategic policies since the last decade as an integral part of its national security. The results are showcased in the Global Cyberse - curity Index 2024 published by the International Telecommunication Union, which ranked Türkiye as a Tier-1 Role-modelling country in Europe and awarded a full score in all five areas of strength (eg, legal, technical, organisation, capacity development, and co-operation measures). The National Cybersecurity Strategy for 2024–2028 (the “NCS 2024” ) Since 2012, the Ministry of Transport and Infra - structure (the MTI) has published four mid-term strategic plans for cybersecurity, the most recent being the NCS 2024. According to the NCS 2024, Türkiye’s cybersecurity strategy for the next four years is based on six objectives: • cyber-resilience; • proactive cyber-defence and deterrence; • human-centred cybersecurity approach;
• secure use of technology and its contribution to cybersecurity; • use of domestic and national technologies for combating cyber threats; and • international reputation. The 12th Development Program (2024–2028) The 12th Development Program sets out the fol - lowing general policy goals for information tech - nologies, as well as sector-specific policies (eg, financial markets, education and health): • strategic, regulatory, and technological efforts to ensure national cybersecurity and strength - en institutional structures; • updating the National Cyber Security Strat - egy and Action Plan in the context of new- generation cyber-threats and technological developments; • enacting regulations in line with the EU’s “NIS2 Directive” and the best international practices; • administrative structuring for high-level co- ordination of national cybersecurity activities; • strengthening cybersecurity threat intelligence through the development of AI and big data analytics applications;
