ABSTRACT
The faculty was asked to select the type of information that they consider to be private. In response to the question regarding faculty’s knowledge of the concept of cybersecurity, only 43% agreed that they are knowledgeable, 44% believed they have average knowledge, and 13% reported they are not knowledgeable. Regarding password selection, the faculty was asked if they use a harder-to-guess password to access their bank account than to access their social networking accounts. The number of faculty participated in the survey was not large enough for further subgroup analysis. Thus, the same general survey was sent to the faculty of a public university in the Bay Area of California. The strategy would not only benefit the faculty directly but also indirectly help students and the university as a whole.
