This study examines cybersecurity awareness in universities by analyzing related research output across different disciplines at the University of Johannesburg. The diffusion of innovation theory is used in this study as a theoretical framework to explain how cybersecurity awareness diffuses across disciplines. The University of Johannesburg…

Cybersecurity job roles and responsibilities constantly evolve due to technological advancements, complex infrastructure, and increasing cybersecurity threats and regulations. As a result, organizations require a highly skilled and experienced cybersecurity workforce in both the public and private sectors. Many colleges and universities offer…

Cybersecurity content is typically taught and assessed using Bloom's Taxonomy to ensure that students acquire foundational and higher-order knowledge. In this study we show that when students are given the objectives written in the form of a competency-based statements, students have a more clearly defined outcome and are be able to exhibit their…

The need to protect confidential data stored in university enterprise information systems and to prevent infiltration through phishing cyber attacks by malicious individuals and organizations has emerged. The unfortunate target of phishing attacks is university employees and students with access to confidential information. This research specifies…

The Documentation and Information Department of all Libyan universities is working on developing the university's website to suit all users with their different experiences and ways of interacting, so it is necessary to test the ease of use of these sites. That is why the researcher seeks to evaluate and compare his performance of these sites and…

Cyberattacks pose a significant threat to university institutions as universities increasingly rely on computer networks to conduct day-to-day business activities. University information technology (IT) leaders are concerned about the increasing level of cyberattacks because these attacks can result in the loss of sensitive data, identity theft,…

Phishing is a common social engineering attack aimed to steal personal information. Universities attract phishing attacks because: (1) they store employees and students sensitive data; (2) they save confidential documents; and (3) their infrastructures often lack security. In this paper, we showcase a phishing assessment at the University of…

Prevalent security threats caused by human errors necessitate security education, training, and awareness (SETA) programs in organizations. Despite strong theoretical foundations in behavioral cybersecurity, field evidence on the effectiveness of SETA programs in mitigating actual threats is scarce. Since memory decay will inevitably occur after…

The purpose of the study is to examine how cybersecurity knowledge, password security, and self-perception of skill affect cybersecurity awareness issues via the mediating lens of cybersecurity attitude among university students in Bangladesh. A sample of 430 university students from two public and three private universities provided the data in…

As education is increasingly going online, propelled by the COVID-19 outbreak, how to build student engagement has become critically important, and it is, therefore, necessary to explore the motivators and barriers to student engagement comprehensively. Given the nature of an online learning environment, this study specifically focused on security…

Computer security competitions have been playing a significant role in encouraging students to get into cybersecurity, as well as enhancing the cybersecurity education system. The level of difficulty of the computer security tasks could be intimidating for most students and learners, one of the reasons there has been a shortage of cybersecurity…
