CYBER-SECURITY EDUCATION AND AWARENESS
Abstract
Cyber security education and awareness are critical for individuals and organizations exposed to evolving cyber threats. This paper provides an overview of key elements essential to fostering safe online behavior, such as understanding common threats like phishing and malware, adopting secure online practices, and emphasizing data privacy. Cyber security awareness also involves preparing for incidents through well-structured response plans and promoting continuous learning to keep up with the latest risks. Despite the significance of these programs, a gap persists in effectively educating the public and organizations. Many individuals remain unaware of cyber risks, and existing training programs often fail to stay current with rapidly changing threats. This research identifies the gaps and challenges in cyber security education and suggests ways to enhance program implementation for better protection against cyber-attacks.
