The market for security awareness products is rapidly growing, already larger than 1 billion USD. Despite these investments the number of threats and successful attacks is increasing. Most awareness vendors focus their products on organisations and adult users. In this work we propose an approach to raise security awareness by carrying cybersecurity scenarios to children at school. We developed a comic in order to evoke children’s interest in cybersecurity and tested the impact of our comic by conducting an online survey at 3 japanese elementary schools. The survey was answered before reading, directly after reading and 1 week after reading the comic. N= 130 pupils took part in all three questionnaires. This work includes a description of our survey procedure and a report of our preliminary quantitative and qualitative results on the children’s level of cybersecurity understanding, if their perception of cybersecurity is positive, and if they are interested in cybersecurity after reading the comic. Our results show a need for discourse after reading the comic, but it has high potential to evoke children’s interest in the field of cybersecurity. In our study cybersecurity terms are recalled, but children found it difficult to describe them. Our findings can be helpful in developing material that evokes the interest of young children in cybersecurity as a field that can be explored.
