Abstract: The increasing prevalence of cybersecurity threats has highlighted the urgent need for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to prioritize and enhance their cybersecurity measures. This research article presents a comprehensive framework aimed at guiding institutions in strengthening their cybersecurity posture within the higher education sector. The framework addresses the unique challenges faced by HEIs, taking into account the multifaceted nature of cybersecurity and the evolving threat landscape. The proposed framework incorporates a systematic approach that encompasses key components essential for effective cybersecurity management. These components include governance and leadership, risk assessment and management, technical controls, awareness and training, incident response, and collaboration with external stakeholders. The framework emphasizes the integration of these components to establish a robust and holistic cybersecurity strategy. The research article draws upon a thorough review of existing literature, best practices, and industry standards to provide practical insights for HEIs. The framework offers a structured approach that enables institutions to assess their current cybersecurity posture, identify gaps, and implement targeted measures to enhance their overall security resilience. By adopting this framework, institutions can proactively address cybersecurity challenges, mitigate risks, and protect sensitive data and systems. The framework serves as a valuable resource for HEI leaders, policymakers, and cybersecurity professionals seeking to enhance cybersecurity in the higher education landscape
