Background of the Study
Cybersecurity incidents, ranging from data breaches to advanced persistent threats, continue to pose significant risks to institutions of higher learning. Federal University Lokoja, Kogi State, is increasingly reliant on digital systems for academic, administrative, and financial functions, making it a target for cyberattacks. Effective incident response is critical in mitigating the impact of cybersecurity breaches, and the traditional, manual methods of incident management are often slow and ineffective in rapidly evolving cyber environments.
AI-powered incident response systems leverage machine learning, automation, and natural language processing to analyze security incidents in real-time, prioritize threats, and automate responses to minimize damage. AI can enhance the university’s incident response by detecting threats faster, reducing human error, and ensuring a more efficient resolution process. Despite the potential of AI to improve cybersecurity incident response, its application in Nigerian universities, particularly at Federal University Lokoja, remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of AI-powered incident response in improving the university’s cybersecurity posture.
Statement of the Problem
Federal University Lokoja is currently using traditional manual processes for cybersecurity incident response, which can lead to slow detection, delayed response, and increased damage from security breaches. The absence of AI-powered incident response systems hinders the university's ability to handle modern cyber threats effectively. This study aims to explore how AI can optimize incident response processes, enabling the university to detect and mitigate incidents more quickly and efficiently.
Objectives of the Study
-
To investigate the potential of AI-powered incident response systems in improving cybersecurity management at Federal University Lokoja.
-
To assess the effectiveness of AI-powered tools in automating and optimizing the university’s incident response processes.
-
To propose a framework for implementing AI-powered cybersecurity incident response systems at Federal University Lokoja.
Research Questions
-
How can AI-powered incident response systems improve the speed and accuracy of detecting and responding to cybersecurity incidents at Federal University Lokoja?
-
What specific AI technologies can be integrated into the university’s incident response processes?
-
How effective is the use of AI-powered incident response systems in reducing the overall impact of cybersecurity incidents at the university?
Significance of the Study
The findings of this study will assist Federal University Lokoja in enhancing its incident response capabilities through the integration of AI technologies. The research will also contribute to the growing body of knowledge on AI-powered cybersecurity practices in Nigerian universities, offering a model that can be adopted by other institutions to strengthen their security measures.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on investigating the effectiveness of AI-powered incident response systems at Federal University Lokoja. Limitations include challenges related to the integration of AI tools with existing infrastructure and potential resistance to adopting AI-based solutions from staff or administrators.
