Lizards in the Street! Introducing Cybersecurity Awareness in a Digital Literacy Context
Frydenberg, Mark; Lorenz, Birgy
Information Systems Education Journal, v18 n4 p33-45 Aug 2020
Learning cybersecurity awareness builds on basic information technology concepts and digital literacy skills. In an effort to raise cybersecurity awareness among information technology students, this paper describes a series of three different interactive sessions offered to students of all levels at a business university. The sessions introduced cybersecurity awareness through identifying actual breaches and incidents, using open source intelligence tools, and participating in a capture the flag style competition. Student comments in blog posts and interviews after these sessions show the relevance of cybersecurity awareness in their daily lives and a general sense of surprise, amazement and concern at how much personal information is readily available online.
