The advancement of information communication technology has triggered a revolution in using the Internet for legitimate educational purposes on university campuses. Therefore, the Internet has changed the way of human communication and contributed to the development of mankind. On the other hand it is regrettable that its revolution has helped malicious users to exploit it for the malign purpose to commit a cyberspace crime that has in turn negatively affected fellow users who were preyed on by cyber predators. This work aimed to examine the awareness of cybersecurity, the measures taken to protect against cyberattacks and the state of victimization among professors at Ambo University. Thus, the present study comes up with the following findings. First, the result shows that the respondents’ cybersecurity awareness was significantly influenced by cyber-crime victimization, fields of study, and protection measures. Second, the current study also depicts that the respondents’ protection measures were connected to and influenced by cyber-crime victimization, education level, and cyber-security awareness. Finally, the study’s findings show that being a cyber-crime victim has been linked to predictors’ variables: protection measures and the level of cybersecurity awareness.

Penggunaan internet pada kehidupan sehari-hari selain memberikan berbagai keuntungan juga memberikan tantangan bagi penggunanya. Pengguna internet (netter) dapat menjadi korban bahkan pelaku dari cyber crime. Begitu juga bagi UMKM yang menggunakan internet pada aktivitas bisnis mereka. Untuk dapat terhindar dari kasus cyber crime, diperlukan kesadaran keamanan siber (cyber security awareness) dari setiap pengguna internet. Dalam meningkatkan kesadaran keamanan diperlukan pengetahuan menggunakan internet (internet knowledge). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh internet knowledge terhadap cyber security awareness dan menguji perbedaan kedua faktor tersebut berdasarkan orientasi etika pengguna internet. Penelitian dilakukan dengan cara menyebarkan kuesioner kepada pelaku UMKM pengguna internet di Kabupaten Bantul. Hasil penyebaran kuesioner didapat 59 responden yang dijadikan sampel penelitian. Penelitian ini berhasil menguji pengaruh internet knowledge terhadap cyber security awareness. Namun penelitian gagal menguji perbedaan kedua faktor tersebut berdasarkan orientasi etika.

Abstract-- With increase in complexity of data, security, it is difficult for the individuals to prevent the offence. Thus, by using any automation or software it’s not possible by only using huge fixed algorithms to overcome this. Thus, we need to look for something which is robust and feasible enough. Hence AI plays an epitome role to defense such violations. In this paper we basically look how human reasoning along with AI can be applied to uplift cyber security.

‘Cybercrime’ is an umbrella concept used by criminologists to refer to traditional crimes that are enhanced via the use of networked technologies (i.e. cyber-enabled crimes) and newer forms of crime that would not exist without networked technologies (i.e. cyber-dependent crimes). Cybersecurity is similarly a very broad concept and diverse field of practice. For computer scientists, the term ‘cybersecurity’ typically refers to policies, processes and practices undertaken to protect data, networks and systems from unauthorised access. Cybersecurity is used in subnational, national and transnational contexts to capture an increasingly diverse array of threats. Increasingly, cybercrimes are presented as threats to cybersecurity, which explains why national security institutions are gradually becoming involved in cybercrime control and prevention activities. This paper argues that the fields of cyber-criminology and cybersecurity, which are segregated at the moment, are in much need of greater engagement and cross-fertilisation. We draw on concepts of ‘high’ and ‘low’ policing ( Brodeur, 2010 ) to suggest it would be useful to consider ‘crime’ and ‘security’ on the same continuum. This continuum has cybercrime at one end and cybersecurity at the other, with crime being more the domain of ‘low’ policing while security, as conceptualised in the context of specific cybersecurity projects, falls under the responsibility of ‘high’ policing institutions. This unifying approach helps us to explore the fuzzy relationship between cyber- crime and cyber- security and to call for more fruitful alliances between cybercrime and cybersecurity researchers.
