    Measuring the cyber security awareness of university students
    (Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2015-05) Aliyu, Asma’u Muktar; Karahoca, Dilek
    This thesis explores the awareness level of university students regarding cyber security. It explores the major risks that students face in terms of information security and how their social cognitive behaviors affect their cyber activities. It also gives background information regarding information security, how security is compromised, who a hacker is, how they think and what we can do to protect ourselves from malicious activities that lurk around the virtual space. A survey was carried out to test university students’ level of awareness. The results from this survey were used to tally the overall results of students and come up with a conclusion on the risks and vulnerabilities that students are likely to face.
