Prof. Dr. Bekir Tevfik AKGÜN Dean of the Faculty of Computer and Information Sciences The dynamics of today’s business world are experiencing rapid change and transformation on a global scale. Informatics products have become indispensable not only in the business world but also in every moment of human life. As the Faculty of Computer and Information Sciences; we closely monitor current technologies in every field where data is electronically generated, stored, processed as information, transported, protected, consumed and transformed into applications. We continue to renew our programmes and expand our range of courses in order to train qualified IT human resources with sought-after, desired and upto-date knowledge and skills. We support our programme contents not only on theoretical basis, but also with practical sectoral collaborations, internships and laboratory trainings including modular systems. While developing our faculty with programmes and competent staff that will shape the future of education, we are working with all our strength to ensure that our students become business people who have the competencies to meet the needs of the world and Turkish economy after graduation. Yeditepe University Faculty of Computer and Information Sciences aims to educate foresighted, innovative, creative and competent individuals who will lead change rather than adapt to environmental change. Our faculty creates unique areas of expertise required by the labor market by enriching the traditional approach with sectoral cooperation. Our faculty, which offers education at international standards with its contemporary education programmes and practices, also offers internship opportunities to its students, enabling them to transform the theoretical knowledge they have learned into practice and prepare them for business life in a privileged way. In line with the importance that our faculty attaches to practice, theoretical courses are given by academicians who are competent in their fields, and practical courses are given by experts from the sector who have made a name in their fields. In the course plans of our departments, the core courses that form the basis of knowledge and practice in software development and informatics are common to all departments. Each department develops its own expertise on the solid infrastructure of expert software developers and informaticians. 127
Increased use of the internet due to rapid development and widespread use of information technologies; distributed computing and data storage techniques that benefit from these capabilities, and the network, data and application security required by it, have become increasingly important. The fact that security has become an ordinary and indispensable part of life on a public, private and personal scale has created a new global dimension called cyberspace. This technological revolution has led to the transformation of societies and the emergence of a “network society”, which is formed by new relationships occurring around computer networks. As the Internet became an integral part of social and economic life, innovations such as virtualization and cloud computing have led the business world to remain indifferent to this major change in the field of information and communication and to cause institutions move their services to the cyber universe. As the number of Internet users increases, the emergence of the so-called “Information Security” problems causes countries to create their own information systems and critical infrastructure with information technology infrastructure. Countries have developed and implemented standards, policies and strategies to protect their cyber-domain-dependent systems from information security threats. Courses on Current Topics Making a Difference Alumni Educated in accordance with the Needs of the Industry 128 Information Security Technology
Courses on Current Topics Making a Difference In our department, courses on programming languages such as C, C ++, C #, Java, Python, web design, computer networks, Oracle compatible database courses, information systems security, cryptology, penetration tests, network security database security, virtualization and cloud systems and information technology are given. Also, the curriculum of the department is composed with the help of leading specialists of the industry that are in the board of executives of the department from companies such as Cisco, Oracle, Microsoft and SAP. The Presidency of the Republic of Turkey announced its notice regarding Information and Communication Security consisting of 21 articles on the Official Journal dated 6 July 2019 and numbered 30823. In this notice, topics covered are the preservation of critical data in a closed and secure network of which physical security is maintained, controlled access and its physical security, usage of national cryptology systems and mobile applications and preservation of recordings against the threat of tampering. It is obvious that a traditional information systems curriculum will not be sufficient for such standards. The Department of Information Security Technology trains graduates who will be able to effectively conduct vulnerability scanning and testing against information security threats to meet the unique needs of cyber security management in the context of cyber technology and who will be able to conduct level-improvement analysis in terms of information security, have experience in network, information and application security, and organize an awareness program that will detect and eliminate threats on security. Career Opportunities Our graduates can work as system security specialist, cyber security specialist, data processing specialist, system and network consultant, system support specialist and programmer in all areas of electronic information, especially in data processing centers and software companies. Ranking 5th among cyber-attack targets globally, our country needs at least 2000 experts with theoretical knowledge and knowledge about cyber security. Considering that the threat of attacks will increase in the coming years, the demand of the market for graduates in this field is expected to increase. 129

With the strong communication skills and knowledge that my department presented me with, I started working as an SAP consultant in a global consultancy firm. When I look back, I realize how accurate my decision was. I had the best experiences of my education life with the support provided by Yeditepe University and our department professors. In 2021, I studied at a university in the Netherlands for a semester within the scope of the Erasmus programme. I can say that this period abroad contributed a lot to me both academically and socially. At the same time, I had my first internship experience at Intellica in the summer of the 3rd year with the guidance of our department head. With all these valuable experiences, I started working in the field of Cyber Security at Arçelik, one of Turkey’s largest companies, before graduating.

Thinking,dreaming, wondering and a drive to research were the reasons I chose this department. Also, as the first software development program in Turkey was opened in Yeditepe University, this made my choice even more meaningful and privileged. I am here, in this department, because I can reach my goals of developing a software, contributing to the humanity, managing the future and reaching to the level of advanced societies by the intellectual and distinguished academics of Yeditepe University. While choosing this department, it was good to know that it was the first software developemnt department in turkey. When I looked at the curriculum, I immediately realized we have the same courses with Software Engineering department, and our program is more comprehensive in terms of software development languages. Another one of our department’s benefits is that we have mandatory internships, even in the second year, because if there is one thing more important than your diploma in the field of software development, it is your projects and how and where did you have your internships.
