Softtech and İşNet Partner to Launch Zoka Suite, a Homegrown Solution Against Phishing Attacks
Softtech and İşNet have signed a strategic partnership for Zoka Suite, a locally developed cybersecurity solution that enables organizations to test and train employees against phishing attacks and respond quickly to suspicious emails. Bringing phishing simulations and suspicious email management together on a single platform, the solution ensures that data remains within the organization.
As AI-generated phishing emails designed to defraud recipients become increasingly widespread, Softtech, one of Türkiye’s leading technology companies, has added a new and powerful solution to its cybersecurity portfolio with Zoka Suite. The platform combines phishing simulations, employee training, and the analysis and management of actual suspicious emails in a single solution. By turning simulation results into training processes, Zoka Suite helps organizations continuously improve employee awareness and respond rapidly to suspicious content.
Under the strategic partnership, Softtech will be responsible for Zoka Suite’s product development processes, while İşNet will oversee sales, marketing, and service operations to bring the solution to corporate customers. The partnership aims to expand Zoka Suite’s reach across a broader corporate ecosystem by combining Softtech’s product development and engineering capabilities with İşNet’s expertise in technology services for corporate customers, cybersecurity capabilities, and extensive customer network.
One Platform for Phishing Protection, from Testing to Response
The Zoka Phishing Simulation module of Zoka Suite uses realistic scenarios to test employees and automatically directs them to relevant training based on their simulation results, transforming testing and training into a continuous learning cycle.
The platform’s Zoka Suspicious Email Management module automatically analyzes suspicious emails reported by employees through an Outlook add-in. The system categorizes emails, verifies them using threat intelligence, assigns a risk score, and initiates the response process according to predefined guidelines. The results of these actions can also be transferred to SIEM systems.
Data Remains Within the Organization
By ensuring that data remains in Türkiye and within the organization, Zoka Suite enables businesses in highly regulated and security-sensitive sectors to retain control over their cybersecurity data. These sectors include banking and finance, all institutions subject to the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA), insurance, the public sector, energy, and telecommunications.
“We Offer a Closed-Loop Approach That Strengthens the Human Factor in Cybersecurity”
M. Bülent Özçengel, General Manager of Softtech, commented on the contribution Zoka Suite will make to the ecosystem:
“The fact that the human element continues to play a decisive role in cyberattacks demonstrates that technological safeguards must be supported by awareness and training against threats targeting employees in their everyday work processes. Developed by Softtech, Zoka Suite brings phishing simulations, employee training, and suspicious email management together on a single platform, offering organizations a comprehensive security approach that spans the entire process from testing to response.
“Through our strategic partnership with İşNet, we are combining Softtech’s engineering and product development capabilities with İşNet’s strong sales, service, and customer network. In doing so, we aim to bring this locally developed solution to more organizations, continuously enhance Zoka Suite’s capabilities, and strengthen organizations’ cyber resilience.”
Mehmet Fahri Can, General Manager of İşNet, also commented on the partnership:
“The growing diversity of cyber threats is increasing organizations’ cybersecurity needs. Employee awareness has also become a key component of corporate security strategies. Through our partnership with Softtech, we are adding Zoka Suite to our cybersecurity portfolio, enabling us to offer customers a comprehensive solution that brings together processes ranging from employee awareness to the analysis and management of suspicious emails on a single platform.”
