Evaluación de las buenas prácticas de ciberseguridad en los estudiantes universitarios: un estudio en la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana sede Guayaquil

Abstract

Good cybersecurity practices are essential in university environments, so an evaluation of the level of knowledge and good practices in cybersecurity was carried out among university students at the Salesian Polytechnic University in Guayaquil. A mixed methodology was used, which combines quantitative and qualitative techniques for the collection of data regarding good practices in cybersecurity, the most common attacks in university environments, in addition, a bibliographic review was carried out through the application of the prism method, where about 24 articles from the most important databases were analyzed. It was possible to identify which are the most common threats in university environments (such as Phishing, Malware, etc...), what are the good practices that can be used in the face of these threats, so it was necessary to develop a survey, with which data were collected that revealed the need to promote these practices among students, although a high percentage of respondents are aware of good practices, There is a significant group that lacks this knowledge, in addition, specific recommendations are suggested to improve education and awareness about cybersecurity at the Salesian Polytechnic University in Guayaquil.
