Abstract

This quantitative study assessed cybersecurity awareness and practices among secondary school teachers in an international school district in Cheras, Selangor. A structured questionnaire was administered to teachers using simple random sampling. Results revealed that while a majority of teachers demonstrated moderate awareness of cybersecurity risks associated with classroom technology, there was no significant difference in confidence levels or training received regarding cybersecurity threats and best practices between novice and experienced teachers. The study highlights the need for targeted professional development programs that address the specific needs of teachers at various career stages, emphasizing the importance of continuous and inclusive training to enhance cybersecurity practices within educational settings. The skewed gender distribution (63.3% female) also warrants further investigation into potential gender-based influences on cybersecurity awareness and practices.
