Background of the Study
Universities are prime targets for cybercriminals due to their vast amounts of sensitive data, including research, student records, and financial information. Federal University Gashua, Yobe State, is no exception to this growing concern. To address these challenges, universities need robust systems to detect, analyze, and respond to cyber threats. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) platforms provide critical insights into emerging cyber threats, enabling institutions to proactively defend their networks and information systems.
Cyber threat intelligence involves the collection and analysis of information about potential or existing cyber threats to enhance an organization’s ability to prevent and respond to attacks. For universities, a CTI platform can automate the detection of threats, provide real-time alerts, and integrate with existing security infrastructure to improve incident response times. However, the adoption and implementation of effective CTI platforms in Nigerian universities are still limited. This study aims to develop a CTI platform for Federal University Gashua that can help the institution effectively mitigate cyber risks and enhance its cybersecurity posture.
Statement of the Problem
Federal University Gashua is currently at risk of cyberattacks but lacks a centralized platform to collect, analyze, and disseminate actionable cyber threat intelligence. The absence of such a system hinders the university’s ability to detect and respond to emerging threats in real-time, potentially putting its digital infrastructure and sensitive data at risk. This study seeks to develop a CTI platform specifically designed for the needs and challenges of universities in Nigeria.
Objectives of the Study
-
To design and develop a Cyber Threat Intelligence platform tailored to the needs of universities in Nigeria.
-
To integrate real-time threat monitoring and reporting features into the platform.
-
To evaluate the effectiveness of the CTI platform in enhancing Federal University Gashua’s cybersecurity defenses.
Research Questions
-
How can a Cyber Threat Intelligence platform improve the detection and management of cyber threats at Federal University Gashua?
-
What key features should be included in a CTI platform to enhance its usefulness for universities?
-
How effective is the CTI platform in improving incident response times and reducing cybersecurity risks at Federal University Gashua?
Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to enhancing the cybersecurity infrastructure at Federal University Gashua by providing a system that can proactively detect, analyze, and respond to cyber threats. Additionally, the findings will offer insights for other Nigerian universities looking to improve their cyber threat intelligence capabilities.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The research will focus on the development and evaluation of a CTI platform for Federal University Gashua. Limitations include the challenge of integrating the platform with existing security infrastructure and the potential need for specialized staff to operate the system effectively.
