Siber Uzayda Yeterince Güvenli Davraniyor Muyuz? İstanbul İlinde Yürütülen Nicel Bir Araştirma
Cyber Security Behaviour: A Research Conducted in Istanbul

Summary/Abstract: Cyber space consists of huge data stemming and spreading from different areas such as banking systems, energy production, watering systems, transportation systems, finance systems, health care systems, communications systems and national security systems. It poses a critical issue to sustain and protect such big data from various effects. The solution to this problem lies in the so-called “cyber security”. This study is about the cyber security behavior of individuals involved in cyber space activities. Data is collected via online survey from 335 individuals in Istanbul through convenience sampling. T-test and ANOVA technics are used to investigate potential differences based on demographic variables. The findings show that women update their software more often than men. Private sector employees display more device security behavior than public sector employees. The study also demonstrates that proactive awareness increases along with the time spent on internet. Future researchers are recommended to investigate potential factors promoting and preventing cyber security behavior.
