dc.description.abstractCyber threats by non-NATO actors in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea regions create challenges for the Turkish Navy. Strengthening cyber defenses has been one of the most important goals of the Turkish Navy in this last decade. Firewalls are currently used as the primary cyber defense. They rely on relatively simple predefined rules according to the specific requirements of the cyber command. Firewalls can miss some malicious packets that are cleverly constructed to bypass the traffic filtering logic used by the firewalls, and can miss packets during high network traffic. Our study investigates some ways to improve cyber defenses for the Turkish Navy: international resources, AI-supported intrusion-detection systems, security information management tools, active methods such as honeypots, delayers and zero-trust methods. This study then proposes our judgment as to the best means of improving the Turkish Navy’s cyber security.en_US
