<abstract><p>This paper set out to assess the degree of cybersecurity awareness among accounting undergraduate students at Dalubhasaang Politekiko ng Lungsod ng Baliwag, in the areas of privacy, cyber threats and financial data protection. The data were gathered by surveying 70 fourth-year students in four accounting programs by utilizing a survey questionnaire with stratified sampling by using a descriptive quantitative approach. The results showed that students tend to be highly aware of fundamental concepts of cybersecurity, including keeping personal and financial data secure, using secure passwords, and being able to identify such widespread threats as phishing and identity theft. They were however not well informed on advanced threats such as ransomware and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Another thing that emerged among students was that they want to acquire more knowledge on cybersecurity, especially concerning their future career, data protection duties, and regulatory compliance. All in all, the research paper results in the conclusion that although the accounting students have the background understanding of security in the cyber realm, further learning of the sophisticated threats is required. It suggests covering the subject of cybersecurity in the accounting course in order to prepare students to meet the digital needs of the job.</p></abstract>
