Is 1 hour and 15 minutes too short for an international connection in Istanbul (IST)?

I'm flying from Atlanta to Venice with a stop in Istanbul (IST). The connection is only an hour and fifteen minutes long. From what I have heard, this should be okay since it is the same airline and all international, but I was wondering if anyone had actual experience at this airport or know the security process at IST for international connections. Will I have to go through customs and security again?

You won't have to go through Customs but you may easily have to go through a security check.
You will have enough time IF your incoming flight is on time, you get off the plane quickly and you go straight to your departure gate without hanging around wasting time. There will be no time to waste.

Strange route, since it is further to Istanbul than it is to Venice from Atlanta, by several hundred miles. But length of flight sometimes does not mean "more expensive".

It is enough time, and the airline will automatically re-book you on anther flight if your flight from the USA is delayed.
