Abstract

This study examines Information Systems and Cyber Security for Sustainable Development in 
Nigeria. Increased internet penetration has brought with it challenges such as cyber security 
and digital privacy issues. Addressing these issues in a way that protects the tremendous 
economic and social values that information technology presents, without stifling innovation, 
requires a fresh look at the enhanced sustainable development goals of the United Nations. The 
study made use of a survey research design in which 105 respondents who were IT 
professionals and cyber security experts were administered questionnaires.Data analysis was 
done using SPSS version 25.0. The findings showed that cyber-security, data regulation and 
sustainability are the key to the digital transformation processes in the coming years. Also, 
further findings revealed that the development of environmental technologies along with their 
cyber-security is one of the aims of the realization of sustainable production and domestic 
security concepts. The study recommends the need for improved cyber-security strategies, 
policies, and programs.
