Abstract

Cybersecurity studies increasingly prioritize empirical methodologies to understand and alleviate security risks arising from human behavior, organizational practices, and the advancement of technologies used to perform cyberattacks. This research paper explores how the school management and key educators in Bulgarian K-12 schools comprehend cybersecurity within the academic framework of the Bulgarian education system. Our survey of 927 Bulgarian K–12 educational institutions revealed that a very small number of them assess their level of cybersecurity as extremely low. Respondents see cybersecurity training as essential for ensuring information security within their institutions. Our findings indicate that only 25% of K-12 employees are able to incorporate this training into their qualification programs.
