Abstract

The aim of this study is by investigating the Information Security Awareness of University Students via statistical techniques, revealing the existing awareness and giving some suggestions to improve this awareness. By the internet, which entered our daily life snappily, information and technology era has been started and it gave new point of view by changing our lifestyle in many areas as electronic commerce, education and government. By developing and rapidly improving technology, Individuals' having enough capacity to use it, information culture has spread over all parts of the society. By increasing the information systems and internet every day, by using private and secret information, doing both public and individual processes via these systems has increased the importance of information and information systems and resolve the information awareness as an obligatory case. It can be observed nowadays that there are many information guilt is being perpetration. Its known that related ministry in our country is taking enough security precautions both hardware and software for the information and system security and researching on new actions. However, the most important factor to pan out for the information and system security is the development of corporate and individual awareness. With this purpose, to measure the computer usage praxis and Information Security Awareness levels of Students of Afyon Kocatepe University, by using "Information Security Awareness Scale", which has developed previously the related data is obtained via a questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS and LISREL software. In this study as statistical techniques, Explanatory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analyzes and Structural Equation Modeling is used.
