The population consists of 6 airports in Iraq, and the sample size was 232 employers. The hypotheses formulated were tested with F-test statistics using Eviews software package version 12. This study focuses on the cyber security costs in the international era may be easily adopted by firms that are interested in improving competitive advantage. Findings show that managing and constantly improving cyber security operations costs positively have affected sustainable competitive advantage. The paper argued that changes in the sustainable competitive advantage that should be segmented in cost accounting systems to reflect whether those tasks are being performed as fit. Then, the conclusion for companies may also wish to customize the plans to better performance with their unique systems, structures, and work processes
