objectives, a survey was conducted to assess children awareness level as well as
measuring the effectiveness of training tool. Specifically, the process of identifying
security awareness training tools was based on the wide search on security cyber
portal of South East Asia. To assess security practices related to social network,
passwords and cyber-bullying, Libyan secondary school students in Malaysia were
chosen as the target participants due to the fact that they are the future generation and
more exposed to danger according to literatures. The process of data collection done
with 50 Libyan secondary school students participated, and it can be reported that
even they have shown a slight level of awareness; however they still did not practice
information security correctly. With respect to the training tools, it shows that
majority of participants' preferred game type of tools. Future work must consider a
