(ICT) is used to enhance and improve the levels and standards of
education. Scholars in countries such as South Africa have
conducted studies to prove that ICT can be essential in the
improvement and enhancement of education. This study deals
with the problem of the lack of ICT security awareness in South
African education (among South African learners). Research
studies that have been conducted have shown that there is a huge
problem when it comes to integrating ICT security awareness into
the South African schooling system. With the resurgence of new
technologies such as Facebook, Twitter and Skype, school
learners are more vulnerable to ICT security attacks and ICTrelated
crime than ever before. Even though the studies, models
and frameworks have been conducted and proposed, there is still a
gap when it comes to solutions that are directed specifically to
South African school learners. Hence a more integrated approach
in the form of a framework, directed mostly on South African
school learners, has been proposed in this study. In this study, an
in-depth literature review of past scholarly work, models and
frameworks is done. Having reviewed some of the existing
models and frameworks, and identified the potential gaps, a
framework to address the aforementioned problem is proposed.
The results of the literature review analysis and the proposed
framework are reported and compared to support the gap analysis.
can play a major role in improving the standard of education in
South Africa. The increasing use of ICT (mobile phones, PCs,
tablets) by South African school learners imposes the need for
stringent ICT security awareness initiatives. These initiatives will
protect school learners against the dangers associated with
growing ICT use. This article presents a practical framework for
the integration of ICT security awareness into the South African
education system. The framework is called the ICT Security
Awareness Framework for Education (ISAFE) and its details are
discussed in this article.
based on a number of models and frameworks from various research studies conducted around the world. The building blocks used to construct the proposed framework were specifically chosen to establish a framework that would be relevant to South Africa. This research article considered all
building blocks that were included in the proposed framework, as well as the various components and sub-components of the proposed framework. Having included the components (Information Repositories, Language, ICT Security Curriculum, and ICT Security Ombudsman) that were identified to be missing from the gap analysis, the ICT Security Awareness Framework for Education (ISAFE) was proposed and discussed in detail. Lastly, the results of the literature review analysis were
reported and the proposed framework was clearly depicted.
