Abstract (English): Security is an area of computing that has grown in importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was carried out with the objective of comparing the levels of computer security of the students of the Bachelor of Administration and the Bachelor of Information Technologies through the analysis of their perceptions, uses and habits. A quantitative and cross-sectional design was used. 321 students from both careers participated. It was found that everyone can improve their security; however, technology students are the ones who could be more vulnerable, since they were involved in risky activities and were cyber victims more frequently; thus, training, awareness and university support programs must be constantly promoted.

Abstract (Spanish): La seguridad es un área de la informática cuya importancia ha crecido durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Este estudio se realizó con el objetivo de comparar los niveles de seguridad informática de los alumnos de la Licenciatura en Administración y de la Licenciatura en Tecnologías de la Información a través del análisis de sus percepciones, usos y hábitos. Se utilizó un diseño cuantitativo y transversal. Participaron 321 estudiantes de ambas carreras. Se encontró que todos pueden mejorar su seguridad; sin embargo, los alumnos de tecnologías son quienes podrían ser más vulnerables, pues se involucraron en actividades riesgosas y fueron víctimas cibernéticas con mayor frecuencia; así la capacitación, la concientización y los programas universitarios de apoyo se deben impulsar constantemente.
