Assessment of Higher Education Information Security Risk Management Practices in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Description

This book delves into the critical realm of Information Security Risk Management (ISRM) within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), focusing specifically on the context of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The rapid integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in HEIs has amplified the importance of safeguarding sensitive information against security threats. However, this integration has also elevated risks, including unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyber-attacks.
Drawing from extensive research and empirical evidence, the book explores the practices, challenges, and strategies associated with ISRM in HEIs. It examines the current landscape of ISRM implementation, highlighting the absence of standardized risk management frameworks and the need for strategic integration within institutional plans. The book sheds light on the diverse approaches employed by HEIs in Dar es Salaam to address information security risks, ranging from security awareness training to data backup procedures and password policies.
