This paper tries to give a general overview of network security awareness and avoidance of cyber-attacks. This paper covered the many types of cyberattacks, current developments in cyberattacks, prevention tips, and the awareness of cyberattacks among students. We will first discuss the many forms of cyberattacks, the current trend, the effects of cyberattacks, and protection. The method involved contrasting and examining the findings of 15+ separate articles. The survey's findings would show the conclusions drawn from an analysis of the information gathered from respondents who answered a questionnaire after seeing a movie about cyberattack awareness to raise students’ understanding of such attacks. Depending on the results of this survey, we will have a better understanding of the familiarity and awareness of current students with cyber-attacks, enabling us to enhance kids' knowledge of online dangers and the value of cyber security.

Abstract


This paper tries to give a general overview of network security awareness and avoidance of cyber-attacks. This paper covered the many types of cyberattacks, current developments in cyberattacks, prevention tips, and the awareness of cyberattacks among students. We will first discuss the many forms of cyberattacks, the current trend, the effects of cyberattacks, and protection. The method involved contrasting and examining the findings of 15+ separate articles. The survey's findings would show the conclusions drawn from an analysis of the information gathered from respondents who answered a questionnaire after seeing a movie about cyberattack awareness to raise students’ understanding of such attacks. Depending on the results of this survey, we will have a better understanding of the familiarity and awareness of current students with cyber-attacks, enabling us to enhance kids' knowledge of online dangers and the value of cyber security.
