LMS Security
LMS that handles personnel information and confidential learning content requires high security. Here, we will introduce some of the threats that LMS should protect against and the response of SmartSkill Campus.
Security
Major threats to be concerned about when introducing and operating an LMS
Threat 1. Unauthorized access and other cyber attacks
LMS, which is a cloud service, may be targeted by malicious third parties, who may attempt to gain unauthorized access to cloud servers with the aim of stealing data or launch DDoS attacks that send large amounts of traffic and temporarily halt services.
To protect against such threats, SmartSkill Campus has implemented an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) that constantly monitor the network. If it detects any unauthorized access, abnormal communication, or the possibility of a cyber attack, the communication will be automatically blocked.
We also promptly apply security patches to resolve vulnerabilities.
Threat 2. Spoofing and non-repudiation
There is a risk that a malicious third party may gain access by posing as a legitimate student and perform fraudulent operations such as leaking personal information or confidential data or falsifying grades.
With SmartSkill Campus, you can set strict login authentication, require periodic password resets, set password policies (number of characters, combination of characters) for each company, lock accounts due to the number of failed login authentication attempts, time out sessions after a certain period of time, etc. Access logs are also collected, so if unauthorized access is detected, the logs can be analyzed immediately.
In addition, you can restrict access to logins and courses by IP address, eliminating the risk of access from unregistered IP addresses.
Threat 3: Data loss
You also need to consider the risk of data loss or corruption due to disasters or unpredictable threats.
In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, SmartSkill Campus creates backup data on a daily basis and stores it in a safe remote location, so you can restore it to that point. In addition, backup data and other accumulated data are appropriately encrypted and stored.
Threat 4. Data leakage from student devices
Teaching materials include a variety of media formats, such as videos and PDFs. If teaching materials are distributed or downloaded by students, the devices themselves are exposed to the threat of loss or theft and unauthorized access. In addition, it becomes easy for students to copy or transfer data, raising concerns about unexpected data leakage.
At SmartSkill Campus, we take measures to prevent data leakage from student devices by implementing access control, such as limiting viewing and browsing of the multimedia used in teaching materials to only on SmartSkill Campus.
