Cyber Incident Handling Framework for Schools in South Africa: Views of Experts

Abstract

The goal of this study was to create a Cyber Incident Handling Framework (CIHF) for South African schools to improve their effectiveness in dealing with cyber incidents while also ensuring that each role player plays an important role in the intervention process aimed at reducing cyber incidents in schools. Experts' comments on the proposed cyber incident handling framework (CIHF) for schools in South Africa were gathered through an expert review survey. The use of expert reviewers was justified to tap into the reviewers' expertise and knowledge. The expert opinion was useful in determining the relevance of the suggested framework, reflecting on its quality, and determining how well it supports the solution of reporting cyber events in South African schools. The expert review process' significant contribution was the documentation of expert opinions on the planned CIHF for South African schools. The study detailed the Cyber Incident Handling Framework (CIHF), as well as the problems in applying the framework and how the challenges may be handled.
