Feeling safe online and experience with cyber incidents among university students

Abstract

The field of education increasingly depends on technology to manage extensive volumes of information, underscoring the paramount importance of cybersecurity. Security breaches are rising within the education sector, necessitating the preemptive improvement of awareness. Within this article, we will delve into the findings of a survey that inquired with university students about their perceptions of safety in the digital realm and their encounters with cybersecurity events. The outcomes shed light on the fact that while a majority of students do perceive online safety, a noteworthy portion has already encountered security incidents.
