Background of the Study
Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) refers to the collection and analysis of data to identify potential threats to an organization’s cybersecurity. With the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, Federal University, Gusau, Zamfara State, faces the challenge of defending its network against a wide array of cyber threats. Traditional methods of securing networks often focus on reactive measures rather than proactive threat detection and prevention. By utilizing CTI, universities can gain valuable insights into emerging threats and take preventive actions before an attack occurs.
This study explores how Cyber Threat Intelligence can be integrated into Federal University, Gusau’s cybersecurity strategy to improve its ability to predict, detect, and respond to cyber threats. The focus is on identifying how CTI can be utilized to enhance the university’s security posture, improve incident response times, and reduce the likelihood of successful cyberattacks.
Statement of the Problem
Federal University, Gusau, has yet to fully integrate Cyber Threat Intelligence into its cybersecurity practices. As a result, the university may lack the proactive measures necessary to address emerging threats. This study aims to explore the potential of CTI in enhancing the university’s cybersecurity defense mechanisms and mitigating the risks posed by cyber threats.
