This Case Study reports the preliminary results of a quantitative survey aimed to identify students' awareness and enthusiasm to learn cybersecurity in Nigerian Universities. The objective of the survey was to see how students in this developing country are aware of cyber-attacks and how they can mitigate the attacks and to find out if cybersecurity awareness program is part of the University program. The preliminary results indicated that the students claimed to have basic cybersecurity knowledge, but are not aware of how to protect their data. It also appears that most Universities do not have an active cybersecurity awareness program to improve students' knowledge on how to protect themselves from any threats. The surveyed students also show interest in learning more about cybersecurity.

The purpose of this study is to examine genderwise differences in information security awareness (ISA) among university students. 614 usable responses were collected using survey from the students of eight different disciplines in a university. ISA is considered as combination of knowledge and behavior, and called computed ISA. Knowledge and behavior is assessed using vocabulary test and scenario based questions, whereas perceived ISA (PISA) is measured on 5-point Liker type question. The application of t-test and Cohen's d values show that both the genders differ significantly from each other in their Knowledge, Behavior, computed ISA and PISA. In comparison to female students, male students are found better in terms of aforementioned variables. The study also shows that unlike male students, female students prefer to utilize their social circle to accumulate information security knowledge. Moreover, the male students prefer to learn security related issues by self-exploration, whereas, the female students prefer formal educational methods for similar learning.
