摘　　要：The cyberspace has simultaneously presented opportunities and challenges alike for personal data security and privacy, as well as the process of research and learning. Moreover, information such as academic data, research data, personal data, proprietary knowledge, complex equipment designs and blueprints for yet to be patented products has all become extremely susceptible to Cybersecurity attacks. This research will investigate factors that affect that may have an influence on perceived ease of use of Cybersecurity, the influence of perceived ease of use on the attitude towards using Cybersecurity, the influence of attitude towards using Cybersecurity on the actual use of Cybersecurity and the influences of job positions on perceived ease of use of Cybersecurity and on the attitude towards using Cybersecurity and on the actual use of Cybersecurity. A model was constructed to investigate eight hypotheses that are related to the investigation. An online questionnaire was constructed to collect data and results showed that hypotheses 1 to 7 influence were significant. However, hypothesis 8 turned out to be insignificant and no influence was found between job positions and the actual use of Cybersecurity.The cyberspace has simultaneously presented opportunities and challenges alike for personal data security and privacy, as well as the process of research and learning.
