The present study aimed to differentiate cybersecurity habits among Generation Z university undergraduate students of Public Accounting and Administration at two Mexican public universities and to identify relationships between the study participants’ self-perceived level of computer knowledge and cybersecurity habits. Data were collected using a questionnaire, which was administered to 321 and 242 students from Tamaulipas and Jalisco respectively. The results showed that students from Jalisco scored higher in knowledge regarding cybersecurity and risky practices. Similarly, weak relationships were found between participants’ habits/routines and self-perceived knowledge about cybersecurity. Our study highlights the importance of providing curricular and extracurricular cybersecurity-related training.
