The purpose of this lecture is to introduce companies and government institutions to cybersecurity education at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb (FER), provide insight into students' perspectives on cybersecurity in general, and offer guidelines on how companies and government institutions can get involved in the entire process. In this context, we will explain how cybersecurity education is structured and list the courses at FER across all levels of study. We will also present the results of surveys that we regularly conduct in the course Computer Systems Security (Hrv.Sigurnost računalnih sustava (SRS)) before the start of the course and after all students have completed it. The SRS course is an introductory course on security that all computer science students take in the 6th semester of the undergraduate program, approximately 500 students annually. These surveys provide insight into how familiar students are with cybersecurity in everyday life, how the course changes their perception of security, and what their plans and requirements are in terms of employment, particularly employment in the field of cybersecurity.
