“…Through these various readings, the researcher concluded that the community needs a training program aimed at raising the electronic security awareness of employees. In a study by researcher Aliaa Ahmed Aldosari [3] from the International Islamic University in Malaysia, a study was conducted on the Saudi community to assess the awareness level of security threats based on their knowledge, behavior, and culture. The researcher selected students from two universities in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia.…”

The contemporary landscape of electronic communication technologies is marked by rapid advancement, diverse modalities, and intuitive interfaces, rendering them widely accessible across demographic strata. Notably, the youth cohort, including school students, exhibits a discernible proclivity towards the utilization of social media networks. Regrettably, this escalating adoptionlacks the concomitant implementation of requisite competencies for judicious technological engagement. Furthermore, a perceptible dearth of cognizance is observed among students regarding the gravity of information security and the attendant repercussions of its neglect. This lacuna has precipitated a proliferation of cybersecurity issues, including hacking and electronic coercion. Despite instances of adept technological acumen among some students, they remain susceptible to exploitation by cyber adversaries. This discourse underscores the imperative for comprehensive educational initiatives aimed at fostering responsible and secure digital practices among the burgeoning generation of technology users. This study conducted a survey among diverse groups of male and female students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to identify the primary issues leading to their vulnerability to cyber intrusions. The objective was to derive necessary recommendations for their protection while engaging in social network activities. The study elucidated the importance of educating students about the ramifications of unsafe technology use, emphasizing the preservation of their electronic privacy. Furthermore, this study addressed the exploration of the role of parents in safeguarding their offspring from the perils of cyber intrusion and extortion. The study conducted a comparative analysis between numerous families wherein parents and children had the opportunity for appropriate training in the use of these technologies and those families lacking such training. This comparative approach aimed to elucidate the role of parents in shielding their children from electronic intrusions. The findings of the study underscored a critically significant role for parents in protecting their children from electronic threats, even in cases where the offspring possessed a sufficient educational background in handling these new technologies. The researcher proposed an educational initiative aimed at preserving electronic privacy forstudents, encompassing all categories of public and private education. In addition, a program for parental education was introduced, targeting both mothers and fathers. The objective of this program is to contribute to the elevation of societal security awareness and the protection of children from the imminent dangers posed by electronic threats.

The revolution in the Information Technology (IT) field has led to a significant increase in the number of people connected to and utilizing the Internet. However, it has also introduced severe security risks: valuable information such as passwords, financial accounts, and other confidential data are considered attractive targets for attackers. Cyber-attacks against this infrastructure can not only lead to data leakage but can also have significant financial implications and even lead to loss of life. Consequently, to defend against such attacks, and considering that humans have a key role in these technologies, it is important to increase cyber-security awareness. This paper focuses on measuring the current level of cyber-security awareness in Saudi Arabia, in terms of cyber-security practices, level of awareness, and incident reporting, by means of an online questionnaire with 1230 participants. The questionnaire results showed that 31.7% used public Wi-Fi to access the Internet, 51% used their personal information to create their passwords, 32.5% did not have any idea about phishing attacks, 21.7% had been victim of cybercrimes while only 29.2% of them reported the crime, which reflects their levels of awareness. The paper concludes by offering recommendations based on analysis of the results to promote the level of awareness.

Abstract-Internet of Things has progressed from the conjunction of wireless knowledge, MEMS which is termed as micro electromechanical systems, micro facilities and the Internet. The conjunction has helped scratch down the storage walls concerning operating technology (OT) and information technology (IT), and allowing amorphous machine created data to be examined for understandings that will drive enhancements. The Things known as IOT is an arrangement of interconnected computing procedures, mechanical and digital machineries, substances or matters that are delivered with inimitable identifiers, and the ability to handover data over a system without necessitating human to humanoid, or human to computer collaboration. However, the security is one of the main concerns in Internet of things, which should be minimized. There are unnecessary requests from the attacker to overload the data center, which results in the hanging of the servers, decreasing the throughput, and requesting a transmission to the Data centers. This paper deals with an efficient approach to decrease the unwanted request at the Data Centers, so that the sessions will be reduced, and the unnecessary load will be reduced on the data centers, in order to mitigate the effect of attack as much as possible.
