Question Are the Gen Z gen less serious in cyber security practices?

[Brahman]

Do you think that the Gen z gen is less educated about cybersecurity? Is it because they haven't seen many cyber security threats as a the generation from 80s or 90s? I seriously think that they lack awareness as they haven't had any serious exposure to malicious programs as a person from 80s or 90s. My kids have never seen a virus/malicious program wrecking havoc on their systems. They don't use usb drives as I used to, all their files reside in cloud or on protected devices, never seen an usb encryption virus. So they are not worried about security as I am.

Oh, yes. Entirely. They - as a generation - view strong security as a hinderance to productivity.

It's the face of stupidity. Forest Gum's mama is turning over in her grave and sending brain waves from beyond that Gen Z is "utterly stupid."

My daughter is part of Generation Y.
All the (serious) problems she had with her PC were solved by me.
Although she was a child who was above average in terms of computer skills, I advised her not to follow the educational path that would have led her to follow in her father's footsteps.

She chose her own path.

Today, she sometimes solves many of her colleagues' PC “problems” at the office, and I can see that it gives her great satisfaction.

My dear friend, we are always semi-paranoid, or always dissatisfied with our security configuration, always searching for the lost Ark...

I believe that they (those younger than us) and we are the extremes.

Is the middle ground the right one?

I don't know... maybe others have the answer.
