Abstract

Cybersecurity, as a security management requirement, is essential to understanding data security in higher institutions. This study aims to explore the role of cybersecurity in the performance of Malaysian higher education institutions through semi-structured qualitative interviews with 10 cybersecurity risk management officers from 10 public universities. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify the themes and sub-themes that revealed the strengths and deficiencies of the current cybersecurity frameworks. Results showed that cybersecurity implementation is considered a successful innovation in Malaysian universities and has contributed to protecting the data of students and staff, which in turn allowed the universities to improve their reputation. This study contributed significantly to the understanding of the performance and applicability of cybersecurity in universities. It showed the efficient use of resources, identification and detection of risk exposures, and improved cybersecurity communication between the technical team and top management are essential for a good decision-making process.

网络安全对马来西亚高等教育机构绩效的作用

网络安全作为一项安全管理要求，对于理解高校数据安全至关重要。本研究旨在通过对来自10所公立大学的10名网络安全风险管理官员的半结构化定性访谈，探讨网络安全在马来西亚高等教育机构绩效中的作用。使用专题分析对数据进行分析，以确定揭示当前网络安全框架优势和不足的主题和子主题。结果显示，网络安全实施被认为是马来西亚大学的一项成功创新，有助于保护学生和员工的数据，这反过来又使大学提高了声誉。本研究对了解大学网络安全绩效与适用性有重要贡献。它表明，有效利用资源、识别和检测风险暴露、改善技术团队和高层管理人员之间的网络安全沟通对于良好的决策过程至关重要。
