Associations betwixt knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) are extensively documented in the international literature that relates to health and construction occupations. While few investigations had been carried out on KAP of cybersecurity in the international literature, such studies are scarce in Nigeria.

The sample included 550 preservice mathematics teachers in one coeducational public university in Nigeria and data were collected using one psychometrically sound instrument (Cronbach alpha=0.97). Three research questions were stated and answered using Pearson product moment correlation, multiple regression analysis, and independent samples t-test at 5% level of significance. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.98, p
