Information security and privacy awareness in the age of AI

The article examines how university administrators and faculty members perceive students' information security and privacy awareness as AI-supported digital technologies expand across higher education.

15 participants 6 themes 23 codes

Main finding

The gap is not knowledge alone. It is behavior.

01 Awareness students possess a basic level of awareness
02 Daily behavior awareness is not consistently applied
03 Support routes visible reporting mechanisms are needed

Frequency distribution

Most mentioned awareness gaps

Each bar shows how many of the 15 interviewed administrators and faculty members mentioned that finding. The labels are the article's qualitative codes, grouped by theme.

Key article insights

What the study says should be improved

These four points summarize the recurring issues and recommendations reported by university administrators and faculty members in the article.

Validated framework

Six themes used by the assessment

These dimensions come from the article's interview protocol and are used as the structure for the scenario-based diagnostic.

Application logic

From article findings to student behavior

Finding

Students possess a basic level of information-security and privacy awareness, but this awareness is not consistently reflected in everyday digital behavior.

Design response

The article recommends practical awareness activities, case-based learning, and training that translates knowledge into behavior.

Outcome

The final recommendations point to continuous cybersecurity awareness programmes, visible reporting mechanisms, and stronger institutional policies.

Wireless security simulator

Wi-Fi Detective

Choose a campus network, then decide which activities are safe on that connection. Watch for open networks and evil-twin names that look almost official.

This is a training scenario based on the article's wireless network security and digital privacy themes.

0/2 decisions
Question 1 of 2 No network selected

Select a network

A credible name is not enough. Check security, ownership, and whether the network could be an evil twin.

What can you safely do?

Select every activity you would allow on the chosen network.

Network trust scale

Signal strength is not trust

Most trusted University_Secure

Official secure network; still verify the exact name before signing in.

Limited trust Campus_Guest

Use for low-risk browsing; avoid personal data and account-heavy actions.

Open network University_Free_WiFi

Convenient names can still mean limited protection.

Do not trust FREE_WIFI_NO_PASSWORD

No password and unknown ownership make it unsuitable for accounts or documents.

Evil-twin risk University_Secure_5G

A credible name can imitate the official network without belonging to the university.

Decision rule

Unknown network + sensitive activity = stop

Check first

Exact network name, security type, and whether the owner is trusted.

Limit activity

Keep banking, faculty login, and personal documents away from open or suspicious networks.

Use VPN as protection

VPN is an extra protective layer, not proof that an unknown network is safe.

Basic security practices simulator

USB Triage Desk

Review a removable-media case, identify the trust signals, then choose the first safe protocol. The scenario focuses on secure USB usage and protection of institutional data.

This is a training scenario based on the article's Basic Information Security Practices theme and its code on insufficient USB security awareness.

Review first

Colleague's USB stick

Protocol choice

Choose the first action before any file is opened on a trusted device.

USB handling protocol

From object to safe action

01 Identify the source

Separate known, unknown, found, promotional, and institution-provided devices before opening anything.

02 Protect the trusted device

Scan first, use an isolated device when trust is low, or hand unknown media to the responsible campus unit.

03 Protect institutional data

Do not expose accounts, personal documents, or university data to removable media with unclear trust.

Decision rule

Unknown source + trusted device = do not connect

Found device Hand it to IT
Unknown promotional device Use an isolated device
Known or institutional device Scan first

Rule based on the article's Basic Information Security Practices theme: secure USB usage should protect institutional data before convenience.

Student workflow

Cyber behavior assessment

Answer short scenarios. The score focuses on whether awareness becomes daily secure behavior, which is the core gap identified in the article.
