Background of the Study
Cybersecurity frameworks are critical for protecting sensitive financial information and ensuring the integrity of business banking operations. United Bank for Africa (UBA) in Lagos has implemented comprehensive cybersecurity measures to safeguard its digital platforms and data assets. These frameworks encompass multi-factor authentication, encryption protocols, continuous network monitoring, and incident response strategies that collectively mitigate cyber risks. The bank’s proactive approach to cybersecurity ensures that business banking transactions are secure, thereby fostering trust among corporate clients (Adenola, 2023; Oluwaseun, 2024). With cyber threats evolving rapidly, UBA continuously updates its security protocols to address emerging risks and comply with regulatory requirements. However, challenges such as integration with legacy systems, high implementation costs, and the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks remain prevalent. This study evaluates the effectiveness of UBA’s cybersecurity frameworks in business banking, examining their impact on service quality, risk management, and customer trust.
Statement of the Problem
Despite robust cybersecurity measures, UBA faces significant challenges in ensuring comprehensive protection across its business banking operations. Integration issues between modern cybersecurity solutions and existing legacy systems often result in vulnerabilities and gaps in protection. The high cost of implementing advanced security protocols, coupled with the need for continuous updates and staff training, further complicates the maintenance of a robust cybersecurity framework. Additionally, the evolving nature of cyber threats, such as ransomware and phishing attacks, requires constant vigilance, which can strain resources and impact operational efficiency. These challenges undermine the bank’s ability to maintain secure transactions and protect sensitive customer data, ultimately affecting trust and compliance. Addressing these issues is critical to ensuring that UBA’s cybersecurity frameworks remain effective in the face of rapidly evolving threats (Adenola, 2023; Oluwaseun, 2024; Chukwu, 2025).
Objectives of the Study
- To evaluate the effectiveness of UBA’s cybersecurity frameworks in business banking.
- To identify challenges related to system integration, cost, and evolving cyber threats.
- To recommend strategies for enhancing cybersecurity measures and protecting customer data.
