Background of the Study
In an increasingly digital world, network security has become paramount to safeguarding sensitive information against unauthorized access, cyber threats, and data breaches. Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State, like other academic institutions, relies heavily on its network infrastructure for academic, research, and administrative activities. However, as the university expands its use of digital platforms, the complexity and potential vulnerabilities of its network security grow. A comprehensive network security policy is essential to protect the university’s digital resources and ensure a secure environment for students, faculty, and staff.
The lack of an effective security policy can lead to incidents such as data theft, malware infections, and unauthorized access to academic records and sensitive research data. A well-designed and implemented network security policy would address these concerns by specifying acceptable network usage, setting up intrusion detection systems, enforcing encryption protocols, and ensuring secure communication within the campus network. This study will focus on designing a tailored network security policy for Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State, that can effectively mitigate risks while improving the overall security posture.
