<p>In this paper we propose a cybersecurity ontology model designed for universities, aiming to facilitate the management and protection of sensitive data and information within the context of the growing cybersecurity threats.

At the basic level, it defines essential terms and principles of cybersecurity, including concepts like vulnerability, threat, cyber-attack, security policies and security rules. At the conceptual level, the ontology categorizes information and cybersecurity systems, embracing domains such as data protection, authentication, authorization, and auditing. At the instance level, the ontology describes specific examples of information and cybersecurity systems used in universities, such as the library management system or the accounting management system. At the relationships level, the ontology establishes links between different categories of information and cybersecurity systems, as well as between these systems and the entities that use them, such as students, professors and administrative staff. By implementing this cybersecurity ontology, universities can improve the management and protection of their sensitive data and information, as well as respond more efficiently to cybersecurity threats.</p>
