Few Americans understand cyber security, study finds

April 12, 2017 by Ioannis S. Haviaras Leave a Comment

In this week’s article, a study was performed by Pew Research Center which examined the knowledge that American’s have of Cyber Security. Some of the questions asked in the survey were regarding botnets, ransomware, and WiFi. Even though this might not play a major role in the cyber security space as a whole, citizens need to begin to be more cognizant about their security online. Many might believe that are not susceptible to attackers, however EVERYONE who is connected to the internet can be infiltrated. Making citizens aware of cyber security education should be a priority in the digital age.
