ABSTRACT
The persistent threats of the cyber environment drives organizations to adopt risk
management as a crucial practice of minimizing dangers to their information assets.
However, focusing on technology alone to address these risks is no longer sufficie nt.
IT governance which enables senior managers to align and integrate technology with
business strategies through clear policy development and good practice of IT control
is essential.
The Namibian Public Service (NPS) currently lacks policy guidance on cyber security
risk management. Consequently Offices/Ministries/Agencies (O/M/As) depend on
technology to manage security risks facing them. However, this effort is not coordinated
between various O/M/A. Therefore it presents security challenges to the
government network as various systems continues to be interconnected.
To address these risks, the study investigated behaviors of different O/M/As in the
NPS. The focus was predominantly on the management of information assets in the
absence of standardized cyber security best practices. The study concluded that
although there may be an abundance of technologies in the (NPS), the absence cyber
security policies, standards and guidelines has led to a huge disparity regarding the
way in which Information Systems (IS) are managed in various O/M/As. Hence, this
poses security challenges.
