With the closure of Instagram in August 2024, a deep silence emerged in Turkey; the problem was solved in eight days. But there are many issues left to think about. Over 5 billion people in the world have access to social media. Facebook, YouTube and Instagram are the top three among all platforms, respectively. Turkey ranks 20th among 42 countries with 6 hours and 57 minutes of internet use. 2 hours and 44 minutes are spent on social media platforms.
are not visible as services, but they are essential for communicating various platforms and components in our daily lives. The introduction of digitalization and hyperconnectivity have altered CI management systems
malevolent attackers an unprecedented opportunity to test cybersecurity systems and exploit vulnerabilities.
The pandemic has demonstrated the need for the dependable and continuous operation of electricity, natural gas, oil, water and wastewater systems, and telecommunications. His chapter provides an overview of a critical infrastructure’s technical layers and systems and its potential organizational vulnerabilities to cyberattacks related to the human workforce and management. He highlights the various categories of threat actors (opportunistic attackers, competitors, insider threats, advanced persistent threats, and hacktivists) and concludes with an overview of recent primary attack types that threat actors employ to exploit vulnerabilities
in critical infrastructure.
Turkey is one of the newcomers in the nuclear energy industry, and Turkish Akkuyu NPP has a unique model owned by an international consortium. Since Turkey has limited experience in nuclear energy industry, specific multinational and multicultural characteristics of Turkish Akkuyu NPP also requires further research in terms of the Facility's prospective nuclear security. Yet, the link between “national cultures” and “nuclear security” is underestimated in nuclear security studies. By relying on Hofstede's
national culture framework, our research aims to address this gap and explore possible implications of cross-national cultural differences on nuclear security. To cope with security challenges in the age of hybrid threats, we propose a security management model which addresses the need for cyber-physical security integration to cultivate a robust nuclear security culture in a multicultural working environment

While the ceasefire temporarily halts hostilities in Gaza, violence persists in the West Bank, highlighting the limitations of diplomatic interventions. The involvement of key regional and international actors—such as Qatar, Egypt, and the United States—underscores the complex web of interests that shape this truce. In Israel, internal political struggles, especially tensions within Prime Minister Netanyahu’s coalition, cast doubt on the ceasefire’s durability. Meanwhile, Hamas, despite experiencing military losses, is trying to establish itself as a governing authority, which complicates post-war governance scenarios. The humanitarian provisions of the ceasefire, including the controlled entry of aid and reconstruction efforts, are precarious and subject to political negotiation and logistical challenges. This analysis argues that the ceasefire is not an endpoint but rather a temporary adjustment in the dynamics of the conflict, with the potential to either stabilize or further destabilize the region, depending on future political and military developments.
