Summary/Abstract: Internet users who behave carelessly or badly increase the possibility of a security attack on the information systems they use. Although the technical security of devices is constantly improving, the human factor still represents a significant vulnerability in the system. Awareness of user misbehavior in cybersecurity allows sufficient security countermeasures to be taken. This study examines level of attitudes and awareness of university students towards cyber security. Based on quantitative research, the survey contrasts the attitudes of students in two disciplines - Computer Science and Media Studies - on a sample of 570 students. The results collected from the statistical analysis show similarities and differences in the responses of students in the two disciplines.
