| TITLE | Cybersecurity Awareness among College Students |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | The quick use of digital technology in communication, education, and banking has made cybersecurity a global problem. Due to their heavy internet usage and lack of knowledge about online security procedures, college students are one of the most vulnerable demographics. Using a poll of 102 respondents, this study examines the degree of cybersecurity knowledge among college students. The study investigates how they respond to cyberthreats, use two-factor authentication, create secure passwords, and browse safely. The findings show that although students show a moderate understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals, dangerous practices including using the same password repeatedly, updating software irregularly, and not using 2FA are still common. The paper's conclusions point to the necessity of organized cybersecurity training, workshops, and institutional regulations in order to encourage students to use the internet in a safer manner. |
