Abstract

In 2022, more than 55% of internet users have encountered cybersecurity problems, which makes it have negative impact on public security. The group under the age of 20 is mainly students at school or young people just entering society. Because of their low financial resources and lack of security awareness, they are particularly vulnerable to fraud. We want to know what the current cybersecurity awareness of college students is. This study conducted a questionnaire survey on undergraduates of Yunnan University of Finance and Economics. According to the four aspects of cybersecurity awareness, their awareness was evaluated, namely, cybersecurity knowledge, privacy, password management and trust. We use quantitative research to verify the hypothesis through Spearman correlation. Finally, according to the collected data, we describe and analyze it, and provide some suggestions for cybersecurity education.
