A Review on Attack Landscape and Cybersecurity Challenges in Implementing Smart Education

ABSTRACT:

Modern technologies such as cloud computing, AI-driven systems, and IoT devices, have completely changed the traditional learning methodologies integration of Smart education initiatives. However, a wide range of intricate cybersecurity issues are raised by this digital revolution, endangering the confidentiality and integrity of educational data and resources. A review of the attack landscape and cybersecurity issues related to adopting smart education was conducted which emphasizes how important it is to have strong cybersecurity strategies in educational technology efforts by looking at common attack vectors, case studies of cybersecurity problems, and an examination of current cybersecurity measures. This study attempts to give insightful information to educators, legislators, and cybersecurity experts entrusted with safeguarding institutions from cyber threats in smart education environments by identifying vulnerabilities inherent in those systems and suggesting mitigation techniques in the digital age. In conclusion, this paper highlights the need for a security outlook and improvement in cybersecurity to ensure the safe and effective implementation of smart education systems.
