Deploying Suitable Countermeasures to Solve the Security Problems within an E-learning Environment
In earlier works, we present the quantification of security threats of e-learning systems using an economic measure abridged by MFC (Mean Failure Cost). It allows an analyst to estimate the security of a system in terms of the loss that each stakeholder stands to sustain as a result of security breakdowns. This paper provides an understanding of the security problems and risks related to e-learning systems. Then to control the MFC matrix, in particular its first matrix (the stake matrix) and to reduce its values we propose a classification of security problems versus the security requirements taxonomy of the MFC cyber-security model. The strength of the paper is in designing and deploying security measures and solutions to requirements.
