摘要：Polarizing the views on the emergence of Information security around the campus arenas of higher education institutions is the utmost erg of both developing and developed nations in this post catastrophic era of September 11, 2001 where the unthinkable is now potentially a daily reality with root causes of information breaching, misusing and thereby initiating terrorism which have presented the world with many challenges in accommodating peoples personal and work lives to a changed environment. To bring the resources of the academic world to bear on both national policy and on the individual responses and so thus to cope up with and to mitigate such riskier environment various IT security approaches have been proposed. While among them Soft IT Security approach (SITS) is highly lucrative now-a-days due to its simplicity and effectiveness in the sector of Information security especially in higher education, however it is unable to secure the all types of educational environment using a general framework due to not most of these environments being homogeneous also because of little focused on cultures and believes of these regions. Addressing this issue, a new security management scheme namely Robust IT Security Balancing (RITS-B) Approach is proposed in this paper which is focused on to develop such strategic framework of security environment where facts, national and regional perspectives will be merged up to lead to a proactive leadership and information security system without violating the freedom and openness that is at the very heart of the academia. A quantitative survey has been conducted and the security facts and findings are compared with the three basic survey questionnaires namely more secure than two years ago, system is secure and security program is successful with a 4 point likert scale. The analyzed data shows that institutions which implemented RITS-B approach in their arena either partially or fully feel more high in the above three domains than the others and thus increases the application area of the soft security solutions.
