A MAJOR MOVE BY IMM AGAINST CYBER ATTACKS

In addition to targeting ₺12 million savings, a backup will be ensured in cases of disaster.
IMM steps up the measures against cyber attack, which is a major threat of the information sector. The servers owned by IGDAS are relocated to IMM Data Center by ISTTELKOM AS.
