Abstract

This study attempts to measure the level of cyber security parental awareness to protect
their children, by means of survey reports among 872 parents of students aged 17 and
below. A quantitative data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software and
interpreted based on the distribution of positions. A mixture of general profiling of
respondents and descriptive statistics were used during the analysis method. Any
findings to this study would mean an increased attention to the suggested Cyber
Parenting Model in order to establish the factors that affect Internet safety at home.
Early exposure to parental awareness would aid in opening up knowledge about cyber
security among parents.
