Sanusi Muhammad, Abubakar Sadik Mustapha · International Journal of Research Publication and Reviews · 2023
Cloud based E-Learning is one of the booming technologies in IT field which brings powerful e-learning products with the help of cloud power.Cloud technology has numerous advantages over the existing traditional E-Learning systems but at the same time, security is a major concern in cloud based e-learning.So security measures are unavoidable to prevent the loss of users' valuable data from the security vulnerabilities.Cloud based e-learning products also need to satisfy the security needs of customers and overcome various security threats which attack valuable data stored in cloud servers.This research study several number of Challenges as follows (1) Cloud Computing Security Threats which comprises i-Availability ii-Data Lock-in iii-Insecure of incomplete data deletion iv-Increase authentication demand v-Browser security (2) E-learning Security Threats which include i-User authorization and authentication ii.Protection against manipulation iii.Non-repudiation (3) Social aspects of security which include i-Confidentiality ii-integrity iii.Availability.In view of these, number of solutions are proposed, these solutions include (1) Security measures in cloud computing including i. Software as a service (SAaS) Security ii.Security Management with users iii-Security governance iv-.Risk management v. Risk assessment vi.Security awareness vii.Education and training Viii.policies and standards ix.Third party risk management x.Vulnerability assessment Xii.Data Security Xii.Data governance Xiii.Application Security Xiv.Virtual machine security Xv.Identity access management Xvi.Physical security Xvii.Disaster Recovery Xviii.Data privacy (2) Security measures taken on Elearning include I.
