Item Restricted Employees awareness assessment of cyber security in Saudi universities Case Study on Taif university(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-11-14) Almaliki, Abdulrahman Abdulrazak; Safari, SolmazThis research aimed to bolster cybersecurity awareness among Taif University's employees through a designed website and evaluate its efficacy using a questionnaire. Initially, a specialised website was conceptualised, designed, and implemented to enhance awareness about cybersecurity amongst the staff. This is done while utilising the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for a structured approach. The website provided resources relevant to cybersecurity challenges faced by the employees which allow flexible and paced learning. An online questionnaire was administered to 93 staff members to collect feedback on the website and gather data on their cybersecurity awareness levels. The online format was selected for its cost-effectiveness, efficiency and the ability to reach a larger audience which is mainly important in a post-pandemic environment where remote methods are favoured. The questionnaire which is designed on Google Forms consisted of Twenty-one close-ended items including demographic queries and questions related to cybersecurity awareness and items were measured by using a 5-point Likert scale and multiple-choice format. The sampling involved a convenience method with participants selected for their availability and willingness to participate. Nonetheless, the results provided thoughts into the staff's cybersecurity awareness levels and the designed website's effectiveness. As such, this research is perceived as a foundation for future research and practice in the field.30 0
