Cyber security is an important concept, and its importance is increasing daily in every aspect of our daily lives. The increase in technology usage areas and rate in online platforms is one of the most important reasons for the security requirement. Today, the active use of information technologies is seen in many sectors, such as health, tourism, education, transportation, communication, and banks. Companies operating in these sectors may suffer severe financial losses, and their reputations may be damaged in case of possible cyber-attacks. This situation makes corporate information security an important topic. Cyberattacks on companies can be implemented with various methods and techniques. It can be grouped as social engineering, physical attacks, and web application attacks. In this study, cyber-attack threats that institutions are exposed to were examined. The study aims to investigate the possible attacks that can be carried out on institutions. As a result of these examinations, it is a resource that provides an understanding of the importance of cyber security.
