Danger of Digital Assaults in a University Computer System

摘要

The Public Universities in the Philippines are mandated by the government to deliver excellent knowledge and relevant ICT skills to students. With the emerging trends in technology, students from rural areas are migrating from the traditional use of the library books for research to using Mobile networks, Web applications, and cloud services to address information needs. Most often students focus on how to get the desired information but will lose sight of security. The study looks into the network security awareness of students in a university. The study employed a descriptive survey design where a survey instrument was given to Information Technology students of all year levels in the University to assess the level of network security in the network and the application of its concepts in their computing. The results of the study will be used as reference for future network security policies in the university.
