A Metropolitan Municipality Protects Its Citizen-Facing Services.

A major Türkiye-based metropolitan municipality serves millions of residents through dozens of digital services: permits, utilities, transit, social services and tax collection. Each one is a target for impersonation, and each impersonation costs a resident money, time or trust.

Dozens of Services Across Several Technology Generations.

The municipality delivers permit applications, utility billing, transit authorization, social services, tax collection and information portals through many departments and sub-agencies.

Its external exposure has three parts: impersonation of citizen-facing services, credential exposure for municipal employees, and a service estate that spans several technology generations. The IT team works to a public-sector budget that does not scale with the threat.
