Abstract

The Internet’s increasing connectivity through devices and systems, particularly with the Internet of Things (IoT), has expanded the threat landscape, making cybersecurity a constantly evolving field. Phishing is a common and emerging cyber-attack that attempts to deceive individuals and persuade them to disclose sensitive information, such as passwords, financial information, or personal data. Researchers have studied phishing extensively in recent years to understand its mechanisms, strategies, and potential solutions. This research examines essential factors that affect how online users behave regarding security in cyberspace, focusing on phishing attacks through the Health Belief Model (HBM). Understanding what influences users' security behaviors is crucial for building strong defenses. A survey was sent to students via WhatsApp and email, with 252 participants. The results were analyzed using quantitative methods. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed that perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and privacy concerns were the main determinants of students' security behaviors. Students were particularly concerned about the misuse of their personal information. Despite varying levels of formal cybersecurity education, most students demonstrated confidence in configuring web browser security settings. The findings underscore the importance of tailored educational interventions and user-friendly security tools. Future research could explore additional security issues such as spyware, adware, and spam attacks. Additionally, leveraging machine learning and deep learning algorithms offers promising avenues for enhancing phishing detection and mitigation strategies. Furthermore, this study contributes to understanding cybersecurity behaviors, providing valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and developers to foster a safer online environment.

Abstract

One of the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak was the closure of numerous education facilities, including schools and universities. Due to the closing of these institutions, the method used for teaching and learning changed from physical face-to-face lecturing to online contactless learning. This helps curb the spread of infections while ensuring that teaching and learning continue as usually as possible. However, questions arise not only about the effectiveness of online learning but also about the impact of online learning on education stakeholders, namely students and educators. This study aims to assess the effects of the lockdown during COVID-19 on National Defense University of Malaysia (NDUM) students. A link pointing to a custom-built questionnaire was forwarded to students through email and WhatsApp. At the end of the survey period, 445 students responded to the questionnaire. The simple percentage distribution was employed to evaluate the student's learning status and their expectations. Based on the analysis, during the lockdown, students faced issues involving technical, time management, social interactions, and surrounding (home-related) issues. In contrast, during the lockdown, students were also keen to learn new technological skills and favorable towards the ability to replay lectures and class materials. These valuable insights on the impact of online learning on students are essential due to the advancement of technology in education, not only in Malaysia but in other nations as well.

Abstract

Smart campus initiative enables higher education to enhance services, decision-making, and campus sustainability. The initiatives are being actively implemented globally by higher education, including in Malaysia. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for the education sector to explore a digital revolution. The adaptation of digital technologies has improved many aspects, including the teaching and learning experiences and administration tasks, which results in more efficient task handling. This study investigates the readiness of the WLAN infrastructure at Malaysian Public Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in implementing smart campus initiatives and measures readiness based on the availability of WLAN Infrastructure, WLAN logical architecture and WLAN populated coverage area. This study administered a questionnaire to 19 respondents, all of whom are IT personnel from Malaysian public HEIs to gather preliminary data on the readiness of WLAN infrastructure at Malaysian Public HEI to support the adaptation of smart campus initiatives in their teaching and learning activities. This study is a preliminary study concerning the readiness of WLAN infrastructure at Malaysian Public HEI in adapting smart campus initiatives. The findings show that, even though WLAN service is available at all Malaysian Public HEI, it is essential to enhance the adopted logical architecture and WLAN coverage to prepare HEI to become smart campuses. The findings of this study can provide the fundamental guidelines for the Ministry of Higher Education in determining the baseline of WLAN infrastructure required by Malaysian HEI to support smart campus initiatives.
