Children in the digital age: exploring issues of cybersecurity

As technology races forward, adults seem to be at a loss as to how to comprehend the deepening relationship between children and technology. Compounded by media reports of online dangers, we investigate what the current research suggests the realities are with regard to children and online behavior. Knowing that this field of research is still in its infancy, we aim to review the empirical research that has been done thus far. Our poster reports on our cybersecurity literature review. The main goals were to: • Explore the main perspectives on issues from different disciplines relating to children's online security and behaviour. • Discover conflicting areas within or between disciplines. • Highlight gaps in research. Through our review, we aimed to assemble a clearer picture of the research done, to uncover future research avenues, and to provide a resource for those who wish to further pursue investigations into children and cybersecurity.
