Two research questions and hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The population of this study comprises 4000 students from four tertiary instructions in Cross River State. The sampling technique employed by the researcher in the selection of the sample was the simple random sampling technique. The sample size selected for this study was 400 students in selected schools which represents 10 percent of the accessible population comprising of 200 males and 200 females. The questionnaire was designed to measure the two sub-independent variables. The reliability of the instrument was 0.85 reliability coefficient. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the request questions. While Simple linear regression analysis statistical tool was used to test the null hypotheses that were formulated to guild the study at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study show that the educators’ lack of knowledge and expertise regarding cyberspace in tertiary institution significantly influence cyber security knowledge in data management in tertiary institution and Cyber security knowledge in data management in tertiary institution significantly reduces cyber-bully, online fraud, racial abuse, pornography and gambling among educators and students in tertiary institution in Cross River State, Nigeria. Based on the conclusion, it was recommended that tertiary institution management should formulate educational policies and curriculum the will help in addressing problems of cybercrime in schools.
