Cybersecurity Maturity Model for Higher Education Institution: Systematic Literature Review

The cybersecurity maturity model is made to evaluate how mature an organization's cybersecurity strategy is and help it take its cybersecurity capabilities to the next level. Even though there are several cybersecurity scenarios and models in the literature review, it was found that there is a lack of research and knowledge on the models and the level of effectiveness of cybersecurity maturity used in specific sectors, especially higher education institution. The study was done by completing a complete assessment and thoroughly evaluating all studies published between 2017 and 2022. To do this, strategies were used to find, screen, and determine the eligibility of studies using databases as Emerald Insight, IEEE, Web of Science, and Science Direct. The quality of the studies was then evaluated, and data were extracted and analysed. The thematic analysis also revealed three main themes: (1) cybersecurity issues and factors, (2) the level of cybersecurity maturity, and (3) the things that affect how well cybersecurity maturity works. The study looked at the current state of cybersecurity concerns and found that, according to the existing cybersecurity maturity model, the model hasn't changed enough for higher education institution to use a general solution or a specialised technique for higher education institution. With this thorough review of the literature, we try to summarize the current state of the cyber security maturity model, give researchers a complete list of references, and encourage the reader to learn more about this new field.
