IMPARTING THE CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS AMONG THE FUTURE TEACHERS

Abstracts Contemporary technologies, such as web-based learning, mobile learning, and the exploitation of smart boards, are the only means by which the educational process may be made easier in this age of digitalization. Both cyber and security are considered to be components of cybersecurity, which can be understood in two different ways. Information technology that includes computer systems, computer networks, computer software, and data is referred to as cyber. Ensuring the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of data should be the primary focus of any cybersecurity plan. The current investigation utilized a survey method known as normative surveying. As a sample for the research project, the researchers used students from the Education department at Vels College, which is located in the Chennai area. This survey collects information from 77 student teachers, including those who are currently enrolled in Bachelor of Science in Education, Bachelor of Education, and Bachelor of Education programs. There appears to be a significant gap between the qualifications of students and the amount of time they spend online, according to the findings of the current study. The results of the study show that the factors that were selected have a substantial link with one another. In light of the fact that student teachers are the workforce of the future, it is inevitable that the future cybersecurity landscape will be influenced by the digital behaviours and expertise that they currently possess.
