According to current research evidence, security awareness is an issue of great importance in cyber security. Although various investigations have been carried out on numerous areas of information and cybersecurity awareness, all are contradictory and depend on the circumstances. The purpose of this study is to determine young knowledge of online security risks and knowledge of countermeasures to protect them from online threats. A questionnaire technique is used for this, and an online survey through Google forms is used to collect the data from university students. The supplemental dataset in this study is utilized to assess the level of cybersecurity knowledge among university students, which is reported in detail. To recruit subjects, two different methods are used: the individual has to be of Indian descent and their age should be over 17. Participants are gathered using a combination of selective and snowball methods via institutional emails from universities and WhatsApp messaging to persons who met the criteria.
