Implementation of Security Systems for Prevention of Loss of Information at Organizations of Higher Education

Abstract

Abstract-In this paper we discuss our experience of implementation of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) system at our University. The DLP system helps to analyze, control, monitor, block and protect data at the University. With the help of the DLP system and encryption we are able to protect and control the confidential data about our clients, HR data, intellectual ownership data, legal and financial documentation, official letter exchanges with partners and clients, academic and research data, etc...

“…As part of contemporary governance settings, higher education institutions must implement a corporate strategy for managing cybersecurity, including a process model for security systems and developing a security management model for e-learning systems (Bandara et al 2014). However, a good cybersecurity technology necessitates operational management methods that enable an effective e-business environment (Boltz 1999;Talet et al 2014). Finally, a comprehensive security programme at higher education institutions emphasising risk reduction may minimise exposure.…”

“…It favours prioritising critical protection methods (Cheng & Wang 2022).
