What Nebula does
Nebula Bilişim is a privately held Turkish information security company founded in 2005, headquartered in Istanbul with a regional office in Ankara. It operates as a cybersecurity integrator, managed security services provider, and professional services firm for large enterprises, government institutions, and critical infrastructure operators in Turkey. Named customer references span banking, defense and aerospace, telecom, e-commerce, airlines, healthcare, energy, and public-sector organizations.
The company combines resale, integration, and support of third-party cybersecurity technologies from more than 40 vendor partners with proprietary software. Its owned product portfolio includes nebula SECURE Vulnerability Manager for vulnerability scanning, CVSS/MITRE-based risk scoring, continuous monitoring, and SOC dashboards; nebula SECURE Threat Intelligence for system, threat, and brand intelligence using proprietary data, USOM/MDL feeds, STIX/TAXII, and firewall/web gateway/SIEM integrations; and SecHard, acquired in April 2020, a Docker container-based platform for network device hardening, PAM, configuration/change management, OS patching, and NOC/SOC monitoring. The company also developed N-CERT, a desktop tool that queries USOM malware domains and integrates with multiple security products.
Revenue is generated through quote-based enterprise sales of third-party hardware and software, implementation and support services, managed security services, compliance and advisory work, training, and subscription licensing of proprietary nebulaSECURE and SecHard products. Pricing and revenue are not publicly disclosed; the go-to-market model is direct enterprise field sales through account managers, supported by events, technical workshops, content channels, and vendor partnerships.
