E-learning, despite providing the possibility of delivering several online and off-line services for users of computer networks, due to its nature and environment for activity, increases the possibility of a variety of security risks. Therefore, analysis and identifying the lessening of security risks is naturally a major concern for managers in such area. This paper, reviewing the security vulnerabilities and threats at the level of e-learning processes in some educational institutions, presents the required security tactics based on a security risk analysis approach. The presented set of security tactics can be applied by educational institutions as a security roadmap. The mentioned security roadmap is verified based on field studies, research findings and statistical analyses through the selected communities of e-learning experts and activists.
