Chapter Highlights
- With the recent proliferation of information technology, almost all users of technology, no matter the field, profession, or status, have experienced a commensurate increase in information security threats.
- Information Security Officers in public higher education institutions are not applying the Risk Management Framework defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
- The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore strategies used by information security managers at higher education institutions to conform to information security best practices.
- Data collected through interviews were coded using and analyzed using NVivo revealing that portions of best practices were in use at the subjects’ institutions.
- To deter this phenomenon, recommendations to the higher education institutions include choosing a best practice framework that contains security controls best suited for the information to be protected and implementing the controls via high-level policies and procedures.
- Most institutions were using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which incorporates portions of the NIST RMF.
- The study of the application of the NIST RMF has not previously been applied to higher education institutions. This study represents an initial attempt in understanding if higher education institutions apply the NIST RMF.
