Quantitative data was collected from a sample of thirty-nine information management team within chosen universities, which were purposively selected to form the study size. Descriptive statistics was used for data analysis and results were presented using tables. The study established that cybercrime is on the increase in public universities. The empirical findings from study highlight regular audits on Information security systems should be conducted in public universities to establish whether the security functionalities put in place are working as intended.en_US
