Background of the Study
Cybersecurity policies play a crucial role in protecting institutional networks, ensuring compliance, and safeguarding sensitive information. These policies outline best practices for network security, access control, data protection, and incident response (Adebayo & Okonkwo, 2024). However, the effectiveness of cybersecurity policies depends on their implementation, enforcement, and continuous evaluation.
Federal University, Lokoja, has established cybersecurity policies to protect its IT infrastructure. However, recent security incidents, including data breaches and phishing attacks, suggest that these policies may not be effectively enforced (Mustapha et al., 2023). Factors such as lack of user awareness, inadequate monitoring, and outdated policies contribute to cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of cybersecurity policies in Federal University, Lokoja. It will assess policy implementation, identify gaps, and recommend strategies to enhance security compliance.
