2016
Annual Report
Based on the awareness that technological
transformation is the key to the future, we
closely monitored the global innovations and
strengthened our infrastructure.
Document Management System
Improvements were achieved in the performance and
reports through hardware and software upgrades made
to the Document Management System that is used for
the Association’s information, document and process
management needs. A total of 5,056 new documents were
added to the Document Management System during 2016,
which brought the total number of documents kept on the
system to 76,053 as at 31 December 2016.
Corporate Website
The infrastructure and content of the website were
constantly updated. During 2016, our website was visited
372,336 times by users from ten different countries,
namely Turkey, England, United States of America, Russia,
Italy, Austria, Iraq, Germany, France and China.
Member Management System
Active since November 2012, the Member Management
System collected various data about intermediary
institutions, and produced periodic and annual reports.
Major web browsers no longer support plug-ins between
NPAPI platforms. Therefore, E-signature Java Applet
application that was being used on the client side of the
E-signature Notification Module designed for official
notifications our members need to make to our Association
was transformed into a desktop application, thus
immunizing electronic signing against changes in web
browsers.
Software for Collecting and Reporting of Leveraged
Trading Transactions
Under the CMB’s Investment Services Communiqué, a
software was developed to collect the prices and spread
announced by intermediary institutions for leveraged
trading transactions, which are then processed using
statistical methods and made public. The software has
been introduced for use by intermediary institutions.
Security Scanning
The software and hardware vulnerabilities of the data
center were identified in line with the report that resulted
from the penetration/attack tests. Necessary steps were
taken in line with the suggested solutions devised.
Infrastructure Updates and Security
Within the frame of Data Center infrastructure updates,
servers, virtualization, replication and security software
were upgraded while firewall and other hardware
equipment were updated.
