Istanbul Police has launched the Cyber Academy Project, an initiative bringing together leading experts to educate officers about cyber crime at a dedicated centre in the Sultanbeyli district. The police chief Mustafa Caliskan said the emphasis is prevention of attacks rather than responding after the crime has been committed. Ankara has strengthened its cyber defences in recent year, following several breaches, including a distributed denial of service attack in 2015 which affected more than 400,000 “.tr” websites.
