The research proposal is about my current research project titled "Study on Cyber Security: Establishing a Sustainable Information Security Framework for University Automation System"

1. What Do You Think?
Security is a journey?
Or
A destination?
According to Microsoft Vice President Dave Thompson,
“Security is a journey, not a destination.”

7. Problem Statement
Privileged information should be easy accessible
for the students, teachers and stuffs but in a
controlled manner with proper monitoring.
7

8. Rationale of Study
To let people know about the importance of cyber security
because in today’s technology-based world is a very vast
thing.
To cope up with this situation we should read this paper
titled as “Study on Cyber Security: Establishing a Cyber
Security Framework for University Automation System.”
It will be helpful to develop idea and model about information
security of university level institution.

9. Research Objective
Broad Objective: The broad objective of our research is to propose a
cyber security framework for the university automation system so that
we can ensure the safety of the confidential information of the
university.
9
Specific Objective:
1.Identify the sensitive and confidential information to protect.
2.Identify whose are the stakeholder of the sensitive and confidential
..information.
3.Identify lacking and security threats of running automation system.
4.Propose a security framework to ensure the future safety of the
system

10. Research Methodology
As we are studying on some frameworks to propose a new one
therefore, we are following comparative research methodologies.
It studies to identify, analyses and explain similarities and
differences across various cyber security frameworks.

12. Test and Evaluation
Collect some data security models to study on their efficiencies,
….advantages and limitation
Propose a model with comparatively less limitations
Test the proposed method with real life situation to justify the ….
…. efficiencies, advantages and usability than pervious models. 12

13. Plan of Work

Step 2: Identify the Problem.
Step 3: Review the Literature.
Step 4: Methodology – interview, observations.
Step 5: Develop criteria's to compare.
Step 5: Analysis and interpreting data.
Step 6: Documenting Result & evaluation.
Step 7: Conclusion and recommendation. 13

2 Hardware 10,000 /=
3 Analyzing Resources 6,000 /=
4 Printing and Binding 1,000 /=
Total Cost 20,000 /=

16. Limitation of the Research Work
Not getting permission for collecting all the required information.
Less resources for conducting the research.
Lack of required technologies to analysis data and
Not getting real life environment to test the framework.
16

17. Future Works of the Research
Properly utilize the given time period.
Perform all the formalities to get access of necessary
information to work on for the research.
Be sure of the required resources to conduct the research
and therefore collect them accordingly.
Revise and evaluate the research work time to time for better
correctness and appropriateness.

18. Conclusion
By completing the research we will discover about the security
threats that may corrupt the confidential information of university
automation system. We will do a comparative search among the
security frameworks and therefore we will propose a new model
that will be more efficient and effective to ensure data security of
university level large institution.
