The rapid advancement of technology has transformed our life, and in particular, there is a continuous evolvement in the methods of communication used for providing information and interacting with other internet users. Everywhere, several networking techniques have been developed to give users data access anywhere at any time and from any place. However, in a continuously evolving digital world, cybercrime is on the rise. Since hacking attacks of data systems in schools and universities are increasing every year, it is very important to take measures to reduce the risk of cyber attacks and protect against the unauthorized exploitation of systems, networks and technologies. Cyber security is the application of technologies, processes and controls to protect systems, networks, programs, devices and data from cyber attacks. It is crucial to design comprehensive training programs to raise awareness of cyber security to enhance student knowledge about protection of systems.
