Background of the Study
Cyber threats are increasingly targeting academic institutions due to their vast digital resources and open-access networks. Federal University, Lafia, faces a growing number of cybersecurity threats, including phishing, ransomware, and data breaches. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) provides organizations with actionable insights into emerging threats, helping them anticipate and mitigate risks (Nwachukwu et al., 2023).
Effective CTI strategies involve the collection, analysis, and dissemination of threat intelligence to improve cybersecurity defenses. Universities that leverage CTI can enhance their incident response capabilities, reduce attack surfaces, and strengthen network security policies (Adepoju & Daramola, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Despite increasing cyber threats, Federal University, Lafia, lacks a structured approach to threat intelligence gathering and analysis. Security teams rely on reactive strategies rather than proactive threat prevention. Without effective CTI strategies, the university remains vulnerable to cyberattacks that could compromise student and staff data. This study evaluates the effectiveness of current CTI strategies and explores ways to enhance threat intelligence capabilities at the university.
Objectives of the Study
-
To assess the existing Cyber Threat Intelligence strategies at Federal University, Lafia.
-
To analyze the effectiveness of CTI in mitigating cyber threats.
-
To recommend improvements for enhancing CTI adoption at the university.
