There are difficulties to seek for suitable security awareness training tools for secondary school students. The age of the targeted group of this research concerned 13-1 8 years students, as they exposed with different Internet usages and vulnerable to security risks, as the result, it is very important for us to safeguard them to enable good and quality of life. This research aims to identify potential tools that can be used by children to educate them related to the security risks. Then, the research assesses the students' awareness level related to social networks, passwords, and cyber bullying. In order to obtain these 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 wider range of security risks that students may encounter.
