Cybersecurity Management in South African Universities

Abstract

The study aimed to assess cyber security at South African universities. The researcher will use literature to assess the state of cybersecurity at South African universities. The results from the literature review revealed poor implementation and adherence of cyber security strategy and standards by employees and students; poor cyber security awareness relative to information communication technology (ICT) infrastructures and assets; and lack of strategy and framework to implement cyber security management. The study recommends continuous monitoring and evaluation of information management systems at various South African universities with the view to assess the state. A replica of the study may be studied in other part of the world.
