Abstract:People are using several technological devices every day. Everyone carries at least a smartphone or laptop with them. Places such as universities and the workplace have become completely integrated with various forms of technology. This has prompted the University of Twente to set up a training program to raise the cybersecurity awareness of its students. The purpose of this research is to analyze how to effectively incorporate cybersecurity awareness in the education of University of Twente students. For this, a survey is created and sent out to students who have at least completed their first year at the University. The survey asks the students about their secure behavior, previous cybersecurity awareness campaigns that they encountered, and if they are willing to have a cybersecurity awareness course at the University of Twente. A histogram is made to show the average usefulness score per previous awareness campaign. Using a chi-squared test of independence, an attempt is made to find relations between a student’s background and their willingness to have a cybersecurity awareness course. These tests conclude that there is a statistically significant relation between a student’s field of study and their willingness to have a cybersecurity awareness course
