Keywords:
Cyber Security Awareness, Cyber Threats, Enhance Cyber Security, Cyber Security, Higher Education Students.Abstract
The great technological development and digital transformations that the world is witnessing increase the rate of cyber threats and cybercrime, and due to the Covid19 pandemic, education, and commerce have relied on the Internet for the continuation of education and to maintain the economy. Threats arising from the behaviors of the individuals are among the main cyber threats, this appears from the limited awareness of individuals about cyber security and its threats. This survey paper discusses the importance of enhancing cyber security awareness among university students in Saudi Arabia to reduce cyber threats. As cyber security awareness is one of the areas of cyber security controls that aim to enhance awareness of cyber security, its threats, and risks, and build a positive cyber security culture. In addition, cyber security awareness is an important component of ensuring the protection and privacy of critical information assets. Students' awareness of cyber security, its threats, and risks enhances students' references to action when facing cybercrime to protect the information, and technology assets to reach safe cyberspace to achieve the Saudi Arabia Vision of 2030.
