Salma Elhag . The Impact of Age on the User Habit and Awareness of Personal Information Protection. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 56 ( Dec 2024), 16-22. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024924281
Abstract
With the rapid development and data circulating on the Internet, some information crimes have emerged. User awareness and behavior play a major role to ensure information security and provide maximum security. In addition, although the literature provides studies on information security teaching curricula, there is a few evidence of the effect of age on information security in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of age and its relationship to the user's security awareness. A survey of 106 participants from educational departments was done for this reason. It's interesting to note that the findings showed that age has a partial influence on computer, web, and email security crimes.
