Abstract
In South Africa, a similar regulation strategy to
the European Union General Data Protection
Regulation, called the Protection of Personal
Information Act (No 4 of 2013) (POPIA), will be
implemented, with a view to mitigate cybercrime
and information security vulnerabilities.
A qualitative exploratory analysis of information
security management at universities in South
Africa, using a Technology, Organisation, and
Environment model, highlights the need for
maintaining the security infrastructure to facilitate management of security within the university
network, while placing emphasis on information
security management processes, such as risk
analysis, architecture review, code inspection,
and security testing.
