Abstract: As higher education institutions (HEIs) increasingly rely on digital technologies for teaching, research, and administration, they are facing continuous increases in cybersecurity threats due to their open and complex IT environments. They are becoming high-value targets for cyberattacks such as ransomware, data breaches, and intellectual property theft. The development of robust cybersecurity governance and policy frameworks is essential to mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and protect academic, research, financial, and personal data. This comprehensive review research paper aims to investigate the current state of cybersecurity governance in HEIs, analyze challenges in policy development, and recommend a strategic governance framework for resilience and compliance. The paper also explores the critical role of cybersecurity governance and policy development in safeguarding academic institutions.
