Abstract : This study explores the challenges faced by public institutions in implementing and maintaining effective ICT security controls, focusing on the University of Port Harcourt. By examining the perceptions of various stakeholders, including ICT administrators, staff, and students, the research identifies key issues related to confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the institution's ICT systems. The findings highlight significant areas for improvement, such as policy enforcement, training, and risk management. The article provides practical recommendations and strategies for public institutions to enhance their ICT security measures, ensuring alignment with the CIA Triad model and addressing emerging security threats. These insights are crucial for policymakers and ICT professionals aiming to strengthen the security posture of educational institutions.

Keywords : ICT Security, CIA Triad, Public Institutions, Cyber Security.
