IMPARTING THE CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS AMONG THE FUTURE TEACHERS

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.
