With the significant increase in cyber security incidents in financial markets in recent years compared to previous periods; the management of our bank's information technology risks has become an increasingly important issue. The coronavirus restricting human interaction has accelerated this trend at an unprecedented level.
As a result of the increasing dependence of our bank, which operates in banking, on technology, the increasing competition between financial institutions and the globalization that has emerged in the financial markets, our Bank has begun to be exposed to information technology risks more and more.
Information systems in every stage of daily activities have a structure that can affect the realization of organizational goals and objectives, it can even be said to be an important force multiplier in market conditions. In this respect, instead of avoiding information systems due to the risks they entail, our Bank works effectively to ensure that these risks are well managed.
