  • Abstract
    The main objective of the present study is to investigate parents’ awareness of cybersecurity in Saudi Arabia. The era we live in imposes on all stakeholders to be aware of information systems regardless of their gender, age, or education level. Moreover, a lack of cybersecurity awareness can have a drastic impact on parents and their children, especially in terms of hacking, phishing, and blackmailing. Therefore, our study aims to investigate the extent to which parents are aware of cybersecurity. A sample of 558 parents, including 346 males and 212 females, was targeted through an online questionnaire. Descriptive statistics revealed that parents are, to a large extent, aware of the existence of cyber threats, and are willing to protect their family members against the latter. However, this knowledge needs to be put into practice by parents and governmental authorities by taking concrete measures.

    Key words: Cybersecurity, Awareness; cyber threats; Saudi Arabia
