This paper investigates the extent to which Generation Z has an understanding and awareness of cyber security and its threats. Generation Z is defined as people about 15 to 25 years old (as of 2025). They have lived through extraordinary technological advancement with digital devices, smart applications, social media, and online learning environments becoming a part of their daily lives. Generation Z's extensive use of digital technologies for their education, entertainment, social interaction, and work has created an interconnected individual but also heightened vulnerability to cyber threats. The opportunity for significant change in the digital creation will only continue to increase the significance of teaching and building a strong cyber security awareness among this cohort. Cyber security awareness is the knowledge and understanding that is necessary for the identification of potential cyber threats and taking steps to use safe practices to prevent compromise of your data, privacy, and digital identity. For Generation Z, who often spend a lot of time online, their awareness of potential cyber threats is a critical part of minimizing exposure to a variety of risks, such as phishing, hacking, data breaches, identity theft, cyberbullying, and/or online scams. The fact that Generation Z is generally willing to share information about themselves, to engage on multiple digital platforms, is a potentially dangerous vulnerability - usually exposing them even more to malicious attacks. Learning early about cyber security practices that lead towards building safe online habits should be an important part of cyber safety education, as children will bring these safe practices into adulthood. The text addresses that while most of Generation Z understands basic risks associated with online tools, they may misjudge the extent to which modern cyber-Attacks are organized, relentless, and adaptive. Generation Z also tends to be highly reliant upon technology without basic critical thinking or digital literacy skills effectively to assess some risks. The speedy nature of social media platforms, online gaming, and source of digital communication create blurred lines between public and private spaces, and make younger users more vulnerable to manipulation, misinformation, and fraud. If we could strengthen cyber security education, Generation Z may be better able to defend themselves and others in cyberspace, and become better citizens and workers. Creating cyber security awareness is a teamwork approach involving educational institutions, governments, families, and technology companies. School systems and universities can demonstrate their commitment to cyber security education by including it in their curriculam. Through curriculum, classroom activities, school creations - giving students meaningful experience of creating strong passwords, identifying potentially malicious phishing emails, managing their digital footprints, privacy settings - schools can practice and experience cyber security. Awareness campaigns, workshops, and simulations are also very useful to train Generation Z in practicing safe online behaviors and the potential real-world implications of a Cyber Attack. Further, parents and caregivers also play an important role in bringing behavioral awareness to the family and allowed to model responsible online behavior, and promotes open discussions about digital safety.
