A study of Cyber Awareness of the College Students

What is cyber security and why should we care? Cyber security has become a new concept in the last decade. We live in a world where technology is integrated into our daily lives. We spend more and more time using the internet for work, education and socializing. Being part of this cyber world is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for many cyber users so it can be said that “We are becoming the cyber generationâ€. While these advances are making our daily lives easier they are also adding extra risks to our personal information. Most people do not think about their identities getting stolen when they make an online transaction, check their email, or use social media. However, each time that you put your personal information on the Internet you are at risk of that information getting stolen Therefore one needs to understand the possible cyber threats associated with using cyber devices and tools such as mobile phones, tablets and desktops, and connectivity to the Internet. There are many simple ways that these risks can be reduced, but it starts with cyber security awareness. Ideally, all cyber users should understand the technology they use and how to use it properly and safely
