| Summary: | Nowadays technology has rapidly evolving. In mobile device technology, since it has become a vital part of daily human life, the developers keep upgrading devices and software to perform better. Smartphone has replaced cellular phone and it is widely use due to the advance technology offered in the device. More similarity functions and features of smartphone with computer are turning smartphones to be exposed to numerous security threats such as malicious code (including virus, worm and Trojan) and other vulnerabilities. Students often obsess in having an advance technology device but unfortunately they lack of security awareness on their devices. Lack of security education and feeling the device is secure enough has lead them to ignore to apply security features to the device. Due to this matter, a study was conducted towards UTMs’ student by distributing pre-survey question to identify their current state of awareness, concern and knowledge of the technology. The result found that they still at low level of awareness concern and necessarily to undergo for a proper education and training. Process Model of educational and training of security awareness on mobile device has been designed to guide ICT units to conducting the program. By implementing the course or program more or less will increase the student’s security knowledge to be more aware to secure their device from any unauthorized access. |
