Towards a 3-D Approach to Cybersecurity Awareness for College Students

Published: 28 September 2016 Publication History

Abstract

College students as digital natives suffer from cyberattacks that include social engineering and phishing attacks. Moreover, students as college computer users and as future employees may inadvertently commit cybercrimes as insiders. Cybersecurity awareness programs and training have been found to be effective in reducing the risk of successful cyberattacks related to human users. In this outline, we propose a three dimensional (3D) approach to cybersecurity awareness and training for college students.
