Information security has become an established discipline as more and more businesses realize its value. Many surveys have indicated the importance of protecting valuable information and an important aspect that must be addressed in this regard is information security awareness. The academic sector is one that should regularly address information security awareness in order to (1) support students during their time of study, (2) prepare them for the workspace, and (3) protect them in their wider personal use of IT systems. The purpose of this presentation is to introduce to the audience survey findings in respect the level of security awareness amongst the online population along with an effort of building an online and interactive Information Security Toolkit in order to teach fundamental, everyday security concepts in a more friendly and efficient way.
