Abstract

Technology's influence on sustainable development is becoming more and more crucial as it 
continues to grow at an unparalleled rate. The apparent advantages of technology, however, 
may be undermined by the variety of cybersecurity threats and moral dilemmas that come along 
with this rapid advancement. In this regard, promoting the moral and responsible application 
of technology for sustainable development is a key function of cybersecurity education. The 
wide-ranging relationship between cybersecurity education and sustainable development is 
explored in this paper, emphasizing the value of empowering people with the knowledge and 
abilities needed to successfully navigate the rapidly changing digital environment while 
ensuring the protection of vital infrastructure, individual data, and societal well-being. The 
main ideas of cybersecurity education are examined in this study, along with its potential 
effects on sustainable development and the opportunities and difficulties of incorporating 
cybersecurity education into current educational institutions. In order to promote a resilient and 
secure digital future, this paper's main goal is to highlight how crucial it is to invest in concise 
cybersecurity education.
