The growing dependence on computer networks and internet based applications in all areas of human involvement (Health, Education, Transportation and energy) makes it a big challenge to treat Cyber security as a separate dimension. For the sustainable development and existence of Academic Institutions, a secure and comprehensive framework is the need of the hour to ensure the sustainability and existence in the digital world. Cyber security consists of 'cyber space' which is a collection of tools, policies, security concepts, security safeguards, guidelines, risk management approaches, actions, training, best practices, assurance and technologies that can be used to protect the cyber environment, organization and user's assets. Cyber security endeavors to ensure the attainment and maintenance of the security properties of the organization and user's assets. Therefore strong initiatives like implementation of security policies and strategic framework of procedures/plans to secure the future of Institutions are enforced. In the present era, digital information is at the core of almost all of a university activities and the safety and security of this information is vital for growth and development. This paper discusses the Security Framework as a means to protect information and technology resources, throughout the University.
