Currently, providing and maintaining of information security has become more difficult and complex. The awareness can be expressed as the most important factor in this process. In this study, it is aimed to examine the awareness of tertiary educators, who are thought to have a critical role in raising awareness to individuals. In the study, the scale developed by Parsons et al. (2017) was adapted and applied online to tertiary educators in Turkey with a 5-point Likert scale. Data collected from 1548 people were analyzed with IBM SPSS package program. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the the awareness level of the tertiary educators was at moderate level. In addition, as a result of the Chi-Square tests carried out, significant findings were obtained between the relationships gender and age, gender and university type, gender and academic field, gender and hours of computer use at work, age and hours of computer use at work, the total working time in the profession and the hours of computer use at work.
