    Description: The workshop will highlight the current cyber crime framework and infrastructure in Nigeria. The implementation in Nigerian educational and research institutions on a regional basis will be discussed. The resources and personnel needed to have a successful cyber security implementation will be listed.

    Expected Outcomes: The workshop is expected to provide a roadmap for the implementation of cyber security units at a regional level in Nigeria i.e. Oyo State. Also to identify the skillset needed for cyber security professionals within the educational industry.

    A social media campaign will be launched locally in Oyo State, Nigeria to ensure remote participation. A remote participation location will be set up at University of Ibadan, Nigeria to facilitate participation for free.

    Relevance to Theme: Nigerian educational and research institutions are early adopters of digital technology. There has been huge investment in digital infrastructure by institutions, donors and the government. Cyber attacks are being launched from within institutional networks which have embarrassed institutions and led to blocked IP addresses, virus attacks and lost data. Institutions are integrating security framework into their digital ecosystem. How effective are they and what is the best way forward?

    Relevance to Internet Governance: This work relates to how the Internet is provided and managed at educational and research institutions within a region in Nigeria. The institutions are expected to have the same principles but the implementation of Internet access and investment into digital infrastructure is different. In this workshop, an acceptable framework for all issues related to cyber attacks in academic institutions will be discussed.
