Abstract:

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, ensuring robust information security is paramount. One critical aspect of achieving this is through effective information security awareness (ISA) programs. This study aims to evaluate the reliability of instruments designed to measure information security awareness among undergraduate students. This study evaluates the reliability of instruments designed to measure ISA among undergraduate students, with practical implications for the field. Employing a comprehensive methodological approach, the study examines various dimensions of ISA, including knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward information security practices. Statistical techniques like Cronbach’s alpha, factor analysis, and test-retest reliability are used to analyze the consistency and dependability of these measurement tools. The results highlight the significance of reliable ISA instruments for identifying knowledge gaps, improving educational programs, and cultivating a culture of security awareness among students. The study concludes with suggestions for enhancing the design and implementation of ISA instruments and better-preparing students to handle information security risks.
