Therefore, the current study aimed to identify the risks of cyber security, the seriousness of this field’s threats to accounting information systems, and its impact on the company’s value. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher used the deductive approach to frame the theoretical side by using Arab and foreign references, periodicals, and the Internet, and the inductive approach to frame the practical side of the research through Presenting cyber security risks to accounting information systems and their impact on the company’s value in the local environment, based on extrapolating data and information for the research sample, and security risks were measured. Cyber security, relying on the Global cyber security Index (GCS) for the sample represented by Zain Iraq Telecommunications Company, and measuring the company’s value before and after its exposure to cyber security risks, and relying on the market scale model (Tobin’s Q), which is considered one of the most comprehensive measures for measuring value.
