Abstract: This study investigates the awareness and preparedness of history students in managing cyber risks during digital research. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative survey data with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews to examine students' digital literacy, safe online research practices, and experiences with cyber threats. Findings reveal that while most students recognize basic cybersecurity principles, gaps exist in applying safe research behaviors consistently, influenced by limited guidance and varying levels of digital competence. The study highlights the importance of incorporating targeted cybersecurity education into history curricula to equip students with the skills necessary for secure and responsible digital research in an increasingly online academic environment.
