Sosyal Medya Kullanımında Güvenlik Riskleri ve Korunma Önlemleri

Sosyal medya kullanıcı tabanlı olmakla beraber büyük kitleleri bir araya getiren kullanıcıların kendi ürettiği içeriği paylaştığı online bir ağdır. Sosyal medya kişiler ve kurumlar arasındaki etkileşimi arttırması nedeniyle günümüzde aktif olarak kullanılmaktadır. Sosyal medya sahip olduğu büyük potansiyeli nedeniyle kötü niyetli kişilerinde dikkatini çekmektedir. Saldırganlarda kurbanlarına ulaşmak için sosyal medyayı aktif olarak kullanmaktadır. Kişi ve kurumları etkileyen geniş çaplı bu tehditlere karşı büyük ölçekli güvenlik yatırımları yapılsa da kesin olarak çözüm bulunamamıştır. Bu çalışmada, sosyal medyada ortaya çıkan güvenlik zafiyetleri, alınabilecek önlemler ve korunma yolları tanımlanarak son kullanıcı farkındalığı yaratılmak amaçlanmıştır.

Security Risks and Safeguard Measures in Social Media Usage

The social media is a user-based online network that brings large masses together, where users share their own content. Social media is actively used today since it expands the interaction between individuals and institutions. Due to its great potential, social media also attracts the attention of malicious individuals. The attackers also use social media actively to reach their victims. Although large-scale security investments are made against these widespread threats affecting individuals and institutions, no definite solution has been found yet. In this study, it was aimed to increase awareness of end-users by identifying the security weaknesses in social media, measures that can be taken and the ways of protection.
