        abstract = {The quantity of information transmitted between users has undergone an unprecedented change due to the introduction of digital communications. However, as the use of the internet has increased, so have the risks that come along with it. The users are typically the weakest link in the security chain; therefore, raising their awareness of information security has become a cornerstone for increasing vigilance among them. The ability of organizations and the general public to handle sensitive data is threatened by attacks like social engineering and phishing. The victims of the data loss could suffer irreversible psychological, monetary, and even material losses. Through pre- and post-test analyses, this study attempted to determine the efficacy of the security training, particularly about phishing, and to comprehend the user's attitude toward security practices. The study revealed marginal security awareness among college students. However, effective video and text-based training reversed and enhanced security practices.},
