Background of the Study
As cyber threats become more sophisticated, it is critical for organizations, especially commercial banks, to implement comprehensive IT security policies to protect sensitive data and ensure the integrity of their operations (Ogunyemi & Bello, 2023). In Gombe State, commercial banks are increasingly adopting enterprise-wide IT security policies to safeguard against data breaches, fraud, and hacking attempts that can damage their reputation and financial stability.
An enterprise-wide IT security policy provides a structured approach to managing security across the organization by establishing guidelines for data protection, user access, incident response, and system monitoring. While these policies are essential, their effectiveness can be compromised by factors such as poor implementation, lack of employee training, and evolving cyber threats. This study aims to analyze the IT security policies in commercial banks in Gombe State and evaluate their effectiveness in mitigating risks.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the development and implementation of IT security policies, commercial banks in Gombe State continue to face significant challenges in safeguarding their systems and data. Security breaches, data leaks, and unauthorized access remain persistent problems. This study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of these policies in protecting the banks from evolving cyber threats.
