On College Students' Network Security Education

With the rapid development of information technology, the Internet, as a new media, has become an important channel for people to communicate and obtain information. However, the network is a double-edged sword, which not only provides college students with massive information, but also brings them many security risks. It is of great significance to strengthen network security education, enhance college students' awareness of network security and improve their self-protection ability.

According to the report of China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), by the end of 20 14 and 12, the number of netizens in China had reached 649 million, the Internet penetration rate was 47.9%, and the number of mobile phone users reached 557 million, an increase of 56.72 million compared with the end of 20 13. The proportion of netizens using mobile phones has increased from 8 1.0% in 20 13 years to 85.8%. Internet has changed people's work, life and way of thinking to a certain extent, especially for college students who are at the forefront of the information age. College students, as a huge group deeply influenced by the Internet, surfing the Internet has become an important part of their study and life, and it is an important way for them to acquire knowledge, understand current events, inquire information, exchange feelings and have fun. However, the network is a double-edged sword, which brings rich information resources, but also brings many negative effects, especially for college students with weak awareness of network security and poor self-protection ability, which has aroused widespread concern of educators. Strengthening network security education and awareness is of great significance to strengthening the construction of network positions in colleges and universities and improving the self-protection ability of college students.

First, the status of college students' network security education

The survey shows that 77.64% of colleges and universities have carried out network security education, actively carried out positive publicity, broadened educational horizons, expanded audience groups, and strengthened publicity, which has played a certain guiding role in education. But there are also many problems in practice, and the effect is not very optimistic. In the survey, 57% of the students said that they obtained network knowledge through self-study, 26% through classmates, and only 17% obtained network knowledge from school. Right? Network security education? Feeling? Only 16.7% is satisfied, and nearly 50% think? Not satisfied, average? . Answer? How do you think to improve college students' network security education? 32.54% students think this problem should be solved. Cultivate the network moral education team in colleges and universities? 20.44% of the students said they should? Innovate the way of network security education? 33.64% of the students think it should be? Pay attention to the psychological education of network security in colleges and universities? 13.38% of the students think it should be? Strengthen communication between teachers and students, and learn about students' trends in real time. ?

Second, the status quo and problems of college students' network security education

At present, the effect of network security education in colleges and universities is not satisfactory, which is mainly manifested in: the content of network security education is rigid, the methods are outdated, the education team is scarce, and education is a mere formality.

1. The content of network security education is rigid.

With the rapid development of the Internet and the increasing amount of network garbage, many foreign universities fully realize the importance of network security education and offer related courses. At present, although domestic colleges and universities also offer online courses, the teaching content is mainly related knowledge at the information technology level, and more emphasis is placed on technical theoretical knowledge, while less attention is paid to the content of network security and related laws and regulations, and no targeted network security education courses are offered. The lack of school network security education has increased the hidden dangers of campus network security. Therefore, colleges and universities should incorporate network security issues into the education system, effectively combine course teaching with daily publicity, and build a strong network security barrier.

2. The method of network security education is out of date.

The network security education of college students in China is basically based on the traditional method: adopting? Two classes? Lectures, talks and other forms, the form of expression is single, which not only lacks two-way discussion and communication between teachers and students, but also lacks vividness and attraction, resulting in poor teaching effect. According to the survey, what is the participation of college students in learning network security courses, listening to network security-related lectures, participating in network security student activities and reading network security books? Occasionally? And then what? Never? The actual participation among college students is lower than their willingness to participate, which has little influence. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate the methods of network security education and realize the diversification and interest of the forms and means of network security education.

3. Lack of network security education team.

In traditional safety education, educators have certain educational advantages. But the status of educators in network security education is not so. The rapid development of the network puts forward high requirements for educators, who need to be familiar with the network, update their knowledge and improve their professional quality. For network security educators, the disadvantage is that quite a few educators are far less experienced in mastering network knowledge and using network technology than college students. This serious asymmetry in network use ability further increases the difficulty of network security education and obviously limits the effectiveness of network security education. Therefore, under the new situation, the network security education team of college students needs to be further improved. Specifically, they should not only have firm ideals and beliefs, lofty professionalism, but also have network technology, network communication skills and communication skills. Only in this way can we improve the effectiveness of network security education.

4. Network security education is a mere formality.

The existing network security education pays more attention to the transmission and mastery of network security knowledge, but not enough attention to the cultivation and practice of network security awareness. Only pay attention to the form, ignoring the actual effect. It's just a formal sermon, and there is a widespread phenomenon of emphasizing theory over practice. Moreover, the existing network security education content has little connection with social hot issues, is not close to the actual needs of college students, and is difficult to mobilize their emotions. Educational content is not closely integrated with real life, and it does not go deep into students' lives to solve practical problems in life. In the end, it can't be recognized by college students and can't play its due educational role.

Third, countermeasures to strengthen college students' network security education

It is an important responsibility of college educators to strengthen network security education, enhance college students' awareness of network security and improve their self-protection ability.

1. enrich the content of network security education.

The network is developing very rapidly. In order to meet the new requirements of college students' development in concept and behavior, network security education should also keep pace with the times, constantly expand and improve the content, and constantly enrich college students' network security knowledge. The content of network security education should include three aspects:

First, self-prevention education. Popularize the knowledge of network security technology defense, increase the principle of firewall, the inspection and repair of system security, the working principle and protection method of hard disk. ? Practical skills such as installation, protection and setup of computer systems should be added in the course, so as to enhance students' understanding of computer systems, software and hardware, and effectively use software and hardware resources to enhance their protection ability? .

Second, self-discipline education forms self-discipline consciousness of network morality by regulating and restraining college students' own network behavior. For example, educate college students not to attack and abuse others at will, not to pry into privacy by illegal means, not to copy other people's academic achievements, not to download free network resources at will, and to use the network reasonably and legally.

Thirdly, the education of online laws and regulations has strengthened the legal awareness of college students. College students should not only learn to protect themselves with legal weapons, but also consciously maintain the order of cyberspace with legal weapons, and dare to resist acts that endanger network security, such as reporting online fraud in time to avoid others being victimized.

2. Enrich the methods of network security education.

In the new network era, college students' thoughts are characterized by individuality, diversity and complexity, and the forms of network security education should also be varied:

First, can I change the indoctrination teaching method into the inspiration-guided teaching method? Discussion type? 、? Type of case? Through positive and negative education, improve college students' network security and legal awareness; You can also post posters, hold publicity columns and hold lectures to popularize new prevention methods of network security in time.

Second, actively plan to establish a high-quality, high-level, distinctive, attractive and influential network activity platform in colleges and universities, further strengthen the communication and interaction function, consultation and selection function, prediction and prevention function and coverage and penetration function of network security education, and establish an online and offline interaction mechanism to help students answer questions and solve practical problems in time, so as to maximize the effectiveness of network security education.

Third, make full use of online media, create a good campus culture and public opinion atmosphere, and vigorously carry out various campus online cultural activities, so that college students can cultivate their temperament, enlighten their wisdom, enjoy their body and mind and meet their spiritual needs in a colorful, active and healthy campus online culture.

3. Establish a network security education team.

In order to adapt to the new challenges and requirements of the network era and better guide college students to establish correct network values, colleges and universities should also actively explore new ways of team building and establish a high-level network security education team with high political awareness, good theoretical level, strong work ability, excellent self-cultivation and good work effect.

First, improve teachers' information processing ability. Through network technology training, we can constantly master network technology, understand network culture, learn network education methods, improve the ability to identify and obtain information, find hot and difficult issues that students are concerned about, and then take effective measures to do a good job in a targeted manner.

Second, strengthen the network supervision ability of the network security education team. Supervision is not to restrict information exchange and monitor students' behavior, but to serve the introduction of network information? Filter? The role of. Collecting, analyzing and monitoring network information in time and interacting online and offline can improve the pertinence, effectiveness, attraction and appeal of network security education.

Third, cultivate the crisis handling ability of the network security education team. Make an emergency response to possible online public opinion, and respond promptly, effectively and quickly.

4. Strengthen the practice of network security education.

In order to enhance college students' moral discrimination, choice and self-control, network security education should not only teach theory, but also pay attention to the link of combining practice and encourage college students to apply what they have learned. Carrying out the network security education course combining network security awareness and network security skills can make college students integrate knowledge with practice, apply security awareness to the practice of network skills, improve security awareness in the application of network skills and strengthen the practice of network security education.

First, increase relevant content and improve network security skills, such as how to identify pirated software and how to avoid exposing personal information on social networking sites. And combine skills and awareness in highly targeted practical operation to improve the security of college students' network operation.

Second, make college students master effective methods to protect themselves and deal with safety problems. For example, educate college students to protect personal privacy information, don't reveal their true information easily, and don't accept emails of unknown origin at will; Teach them how to identify fake websites and how to deal with them urgently after their accounts are stolen, so as to improve their awareness and ability to prevent network risks.

Four. Concluding remarks

To sum up, colleges and universities should fully realize the importance of network security education for college students. By enriching the contents and methods of network security education, building a network security education team and strengthening the practice of network security education, college students' network security awareness, security protection ability, network behavior norms and network literacy are enhanced.
