Cloud computing security for e-learning during COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The demand for e-learning services increased during the developments of the COVID-19 virus and its rapid spread, and the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) that social distancing should be required. The rapid transition to the e-learning environment quickly led to the neglect of some security aspects, which led to an increase in cyber attacks targeting computer accounts, which is one of the most important pillars of e-learning. In these papers, the attacks that target the cloud computer used in the most important e-learning have been studied and classified according to the victim using an inductive methodology based on global statistics related to cyber attacks and recent research. And suggest appropriate solutions to avoid its occurrence in the near future and raise the level of protection for those computer clouds.

Countermeasure Strategies to Address Cybersecurity Challenges Amidst Major Crises in the Higher Education and Research Sector: An Organisational Learning Perspective

“…Adopting cloud computing has been highlighted in the literature to minimise cybersecurity issues in higher education, especially during distance learning [40,69]. The study aligns with the current literature; C020 mentioned, "We opted cloud computing, preventing data sharing from any other source other than cloud to tackle these cyber viruses".…”

Servicios en la nube y las actitudes a las tecnologías de la información en estudiantes universitarios en el contexto del confinamiento

“…El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la incidencia del uso de los servicios de la nube en las actitudes a las tecnologías de la información en los estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de Educación en el contexto post pandemia COVID-19; los resultados obtenidos en el estudio concuerdan con las siguientes afirmaciones: la computación en la nube proporciona un ambiente adecuado tanto para estudiantes, profesores y cuerpos administrativos en universidades y las escuelas (Najm et al, 2022), los servicios cobran cada vez más importancia, el uso de servicios en la nube y su implementación como parte de la tecnología educativa permite articular actividades de la comunidad educativa en red (Krivova et al, 2020). Es un gran desafío formar profesionales en una educación virtual o remota, a pesar de las condiciones limitadas conexión a internet desde el lado de los estudiantes, en educación pública las actitudes poco favorables hacia las nuevas formas de desarrollar clases debe superarse con mayor compromiso del estado y de la universidad (Hermitaño & Delgado, 2022); resulta relevante realizar estudios que identifiquen las actitudes del estudiantado, porque genera información útil para la mejora del desempeño docente de quienes aplican el aprendizaje (Chambi-Mescco, 2021).…”

Using support vector machine regression to reduce cloud security risks in developing countries

“…In cloud security management is a practice of control mitigation techniques that involves of processes, methods, and tools for controlling security issues in a cloud computing project before they become problems.In addition, cloud risk management able to avoid the security issues in cloud computing environments [14]. Cloud computing is a collection of computers computing paradigm in which resources of the cloud and servers that are publicly accessible via the Internet.…”
