The rapid growth of technology and the increasing reliance on digital systems have highlighted the need for effective cyber security measures. This survey study aims to assess the level of cyber security awareness and preparedness among individuals and organizations. By collecting data through a survey questionnaire, this study seeks to identify gaps in knowledge, identify common vulnerabilities, and understand the current practices in place to mitigate cyber threats. The findings of this study will provide insights into the effectiveness of existing cyber security awareness programs and inform strategies for enhancing cyber security education and preparedness.

Keywords
