AA Technology, a newly established subsidiary of Türkiye's global news agency Anadolu, has signed a strategic cooperation protocol with Imperum, a cybersecurity solutions provider.
With 105 years of history, Anadolu Agency (AA) takes a leading role in media technologies and cybersecurity through its newly established subsidiary AA Technology. With the strategic move by the Turkish news agency, AA Technology has completed its first major collaboration in the field of cybersecurity solutions with Imperum.
In this context, AA Technology and Imperum signed a cooperation protocol signed by Oguz Enis Peru, deputy director of Anadolu Agency and AA Technology, and Imperum CEO Senad Aruc.
On this occasion, Peru said AA Technology, in pursuit of its goal to become a leader in the field of cybersecurity, created solutions that influence the sector through its robust technical infrastructure, extensive field experience, and expert team, while contributing to national security by offering value-added services across all areas of cybersecurity.
In line with this vision, Peru said it has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Imperum, a global manufacturer that operates in many countries and conducts all of its development processes internally.
"Imperum SOC Platform provides an end-to-end modern security infrastructure, ranging from intrusion detection systems to automated blocking solutions, artificial intelligence-powered analysis, and proactive action systems.
“As AA Technology, we provide professional services, technical support, and consultancy for the sales, integration, operational management, and long-term cybersecurity infrastructure of this platform," he said.
They are determined to build not only the present but also the future of cybersecurity. Therefore, they integrate innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation into our cybersecurity solutions and develop products.
The collaboration between AA Technology and Imperum will not be limited to Türkiye; “we aim to realize projects in international markets with a global vision. This cooperation is not only a technology partnership but also a strong step towards Türkiye having a say in cybersecurity on a global scale.”
5 unique security solutions on single platform
Imperum's CEO Senad Aruc said they founded the company four years ago based on their 25 years of cybersecurity experience.
Aruc said that Imperum currently operates in four countries and is headquartered in the Netherlands, adding that the cybersecurity solution was introduced to users in mid-2023, and general sales began in early 2024.
Aruc explained that they met with Anadolu Agency in the middle of last year to present the Imperum product, which also gave the company its name, and that with the formation of AA Technology, they decided to turn this collaboration into a business partnership."AA Technology has been our sales and support partner in Türkiye and the Turkic states. We've also made a lot of sales. We're growing together," he said.
He emphasized that the most important innovation of Imperum is that it is the only platform in the world that offers 5 different security solutions used in the field of cybersecurity in an integrated manner under a single system. Aruc explained that with its artificial intelligence-supported risk analysis and automatic threat prevention capabilities, the platform detects attacks before they occur, thus providing high-level protection.

He emphasized that Imperum, with its single license model and unified security architecture, provides a more effective and cost-effective alternative to individual and expensive traditional security solutions and that this collaboration is an important step on Turkey's path to global cybersecurity leadership.
Anadolu's years of experience in the digitalization process have shaped AA Technology, which has attracted attention with many software products such as digital archive management, news flow systems, and social media monitoring infrastructure developed with its own resources, as well as hardware products such as the messenger drone "Tepe" launched last year.
The agency is now a technology manufacturer, with modern data centers in Istanbul and Ankara, as well as a domestic software engineering and research and development center.
