N2 - The goal of this research study is to examine teenager's and educational staff's attitudes towards the issue of information security (IS). The study focuses on teenagers and on educational staff from high schools from varied socio-economic groups. The goal of this study is to eventually instigate a cultural change in the area of IS, therefore, it is important to understand the motivations behind end users' actions. The research findings indicate a clear connection between students' and teachers' evaluation of their information sources and the threat they feel by information risks. This, in turn affects their willingness to apply IS measures. In addition, the necessity of integration of IS into the educational curriculum emerged, as it constitutes an indispensable skill in the 21st century.
