Almost half (45%) of Russian adolescents have difficulties in determining the concept of “cyber security .. At the same time, 82% of parents consider themselves responsible for the cyber protection of their children, and the majority of them are women (85%). He was recognized for the work of the Sun under the command of the Editorial Office.
However, as the questionnaire shown, only 26% of children share the opinion of parents and make sure that their security on the Internet is an adult concern. Moreover, 61% of adolescents rely on cyber protection issues, which reveal questions about the real level of awareness of online garrosis.
Solar work shows various young people related to cyber security. One -fifth (20%) is limited to a fuzzy definition and associates it with “lack of protection on the Internet and lack of dangers”. 7% of the participants associate cyber safety only with protection from fraudsters and pirates, and only 8% understand this as preventing personal data leaks.
Although the essence of cyber security is insufficient, most adolescents (less than 2/3) accept the importance of observing security measures with any exit from the network. 70 % are aware of the need for protection in social networks that show the understanding of risks associated with online social activity. However, almost one third of the young generation is aware of the versatility of cyber safety rules and the need to comply with them with them.
It is noteworthy that parents show a high concern to the internet-90% clearly realize the current risks. However, the effectiveness of the reporting of this information is in question. Interestingly, parents and adolescents evaluate the safety of various online activity. Therefore, online games are perceived as the safest environment (59%), while social networks are only slightly safer in their presentations despite obvious risks and need to provide personal information (70%).
The study also created a gap under the responsibility of cyber security. While 61% of adolescents are considered as personal responsibility, only one quarter of the participants accept the importance of parental participation. Among the parents, 82% of them are confident in ensuring the child’s cyber safety, but only 41% of these believe that the child is involved in this process.
In addition to parents and children, cyber security responsibility is assigned to the owners of internet resources-26% of the adolescents and 41% of parents. This emphasizes the creation of a safe online environment and a comprehensive approach to teach the foundations of cyber protection to the young generation.
