Particularly at the point of ensuring national security and protecting critical sub-structures, countries have become aware of cyber security, along with traditional security methods, as well as emerging technologies and critical infrastructures that have evolved with these technologies. At this point, it is necessary to address cyber security as a public policy topic and evaluate it in the context of public policy analysis. In this thesis, firstly, the close relationship between public policy and cyber security was determined through the results of a case study and five country reviews.

In the conclusion part, tendencies of Turkey’s cyber security and critical sub-structure policies and their features were revealed within the context of public policy analysis approaches and decision making models.
