The problem addressed in the study was that the relationship between Millennial professionals' perceptions of cybersecurity risks and users' online security behaviors had not been identified. To help find a solution to this problem, the researcher adopted a correlational study to examine the relationship between Millennial professionals' perceptions of cybersecurity risks and users' online security behaviors. The constructs studied were elements of the health belief model and the protection motivation theory. Perceived benefits (PBE) and perceived barriers (PBA) were constructs developed under the health belief model. Perceived susceptibility (PSU), perceived severity (PSE), and self-efficacy (SEC) were common constructs developed under both theoretical frameworks. These constructs were the independent variables in the study, whereas online security behavior (OSB) was the dependent variable. The participants in the study were Millennial professionals who indicated owning a computer and being regularly connected to the internet. The researcher administered a survey to 38 participants randomly selected among SurveyMonkey audience members. The Spearman's correlation test performed supported the analysis of the strength of the relationship and the level of significance between each of the independent variables and the dependent variable. The results from the statistical test provided enough evidence to fail to reject each of the null hypothesis of the study. There were no significant correlations between each of the independent variables (PSU, PSE, PBE, PBA, and SEC) and the dependent variable (OSB). Keywords: cybersecurity, perceptions, online security behaviors, risks, self-efficacy, millennial, professional.
