The rise of technology has brought about new security challenges that affect various institutions, including educational institutions at different levels. As cyber threats become more evident to society, it is essential to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to protect themselves and their assets online. This study examines cybersecurity knowledge and awareness among ICT and social science students in Tirana, Albania. The research involves comparing the two groups of students regarding their understanding of the significance of cybersecurity in today’s world. The literature review and data collected will support the qualitative and quantitative findings, which will testify to the idea presented in this study. This data collection is based on a survey conducted among students from both disciplines, focusing on the Tirana and Durres districts. The work-in-process results indicate that ICT students better understand cybersecurity and its implications than social science students. The study also reveals a need for increased awareness and education about cybersecurity among social and ICT Students. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of cybersecurity education for all students, regardless of their discipline and level of education, as cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly common and complex. Introducing cybersecurity education in curricula programs at early stages and establishing partnerships between educational institutions and industry to provide real-world exposure is suggested as a solution.
