The revolution in the Information Technology (IT) field has led to a significant increase in the number of people connected to and utilizing the Internet. However, it has also introduced severe security risks: valuable information such as passwords, financial accounts, and other confidential data are considered attractive targets for attackers. Cyber-attacks against this infrastructure can not only lead to data leakage but can also have significant financial implications and even lead to loss of life. Consequently, to defend against such attacks, and considering that humans have a key role in these technologies, it is important to increase cyber-security awareness. This paper focuses on measuring the current level of cyber-security awareness in Saudi Arabia, in terms of cyber-security practices, level of awareness, and incident reporting, by means of an online questionnaire with 1230 participants. The questionnaire results showed that 31.7% used public Wi-Fi to access the Internet, 51% used their personal information to create their passwords, 32.5% did not have any idea about phishing attacks, 21.7% had been victim of cybercrimes while only 29.2% of them reported the crime, which reflects their levels of awareness. The paper concludes by offering recommendations based on analysis of the results to promote the level of awareness.

“…Users can download 15 Google cloud services, including 30 GB of compute engine/ month, five GB of storage cloud storage/ month, Pub/ Sub with a capacity 10 GB/ month, and cloud function with a capacity of two million callings/ month, and meet their needs through these services by GCP. (Asadi, et al 2019) One of the studies conducted in the mid-2000s regarding the use of cloud computing in higher education showed that universities could still find themselves in the "early adoption" phase alongside other sectors, such as commercial and government. The factors that influenced the decision to use cloud computing in higher education were different from other sectors.…”

Cloud technology is a system that enables the use of IT resources more efficiently, simply and cheaply. The cost-effectiveness of applying this technology is reflected in the optimization of operating costs, the optimization of capital investments, as well as the reduction of costs. Electronic education as a system began to "live" in the late 20th century in the form of IT applications. Nowadays, these applications are in a new environment - Cloud Computing. The amount of data that needs to be processed grows and has a tendency to accelerate. This huge amount of data is necessary to store, transfer and process in a unit of time this requires the development of certain systems. The given systems that enable the management of the given resources are big data systems, internet of things, cloud platforms, virtualization, artificial intelligence, 5g, etc. The platform structure that carries these systems is cloud computing. The use of cloud computing as a new technology for the realization of e-learning enhances educational and research systems, in terms of storage and flow capacity, data processing speed and availability of information with the aim of a better educational environment with greater controllability, is more economical, efficient and safer in relation to the traditional concept. The paper presents the impact of ICT and cloud computing on educational systems, which should be part of new trends due to the advantages that given technology brings.

“…• What is so-called Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Services provided by this level include the remote delivery (through the internet) of a full computer infrastructure (e.g., virtual computers, networks, and storage devices) [14]. The perfect example of this kind of service is Amazon1 which offers S3 for storage, EC2 for computing power, and simple queue service for network communication for limited businesses and individual consumers [23], just such as computer server and processing power [22]. • Platform as a Service (PaaS) which is PaaS: In this field, PaaS offered the ability to provide a software application without the need to install the software tool in consumer computers.…”

Cloud computing is considering as a popular computing model in the Western World. It is still not well understood by much higher education (HE) institutions in the developing world. CC will have a huge effect on the academic and learning environment which will enable their users (i.e., students, educators, and heads) to play out their undertakings adequately with less expense by using the accessible applications based on the clouding offered by the cloud specialist organizations. This study aims to evaluate the factors that influence the adoption of CC for Higher Education within the Kurdistan Region in Iraq. The study was performed utilizing a non-experimental study exploratory research design. This exploratory study included an essential investigation into secondary data. The study development and modeling of secondary data to highlight the final results of the research. Through reviewing the literature of the existing frameworks in CC adoption, it is showed that there are limited institutions developed over the latest years. Moreover, HE in Kurdistan Region needs continued attention to get government support and redesign the educational system to cover all the core aspects in a better way. Here, at any time there is a need to access the applications, software and hardware, platform, and infrastructure; the most required is to have the internet service.
