Cyber-attacks may pose a threat to information security. The importance of cyber awareness is increasing as internet and data usage rates rise. This research concentrates on the connections between general human awareness, knowledge, and behavior in relation to security tools. An investigation into phishing attacks was made for the purpose of cyber security simulation exercises for staff members of a sizable financial services company with hundreds of branches across the country. Information about students' use of social media platforms to demonstrate Information Security Awareness (CSA) was gathered through an online survey. The results show that despite having a sufficient understanding of cyber threats, internet users only take a few simple and common precautions, which is insufficient. The study's results also show a connection between greater cyber experience and understanding and threshold of cyber awareness, beyond the differences in participating member country or gender. Results, implications, and recommendation useful for cyber security training programs are presented and discussed.
