The threat of cyber attacks on data security has made cyber security important. First of all, associate, bachelor and graduate education programs opened under the name of “cyber security” in 208 universities in Turkey were examined. It has been determined that cyber security training/education is positioned in the field of engineering and natural science. Considering that cyber security is an interdisciplinary subject, the aim of this study is to determine the status of cyber security training in accounting and banking (bachelor) education in the field of social sciences. Content analysis method was used in the study. The curricula of 15 programs in accounting and 43 programs in banking were investigated in terms of cyber security and cyber security-related courses. There are no cyber security and cyber security-related courses in 6 accounting programs and 18 banking programs. Istanbul Aydın University is the only university that offers education under the name of “cyber security” as a course in the curricula of universities that provide accounting education. Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University and Istanbul Nisantasi University offer “cyber security” training as a course in the banking curricula. The richest curricula in terms of cyber security-related courses are at Baskent University among accounting programs and Istanbul Gelisim University among banking programs. In accounting and banking education curricula, cyber security is generally addressed at awareness-raising level.
