Integrated information security systems in educational institutions: modern technological solutions and prospects for implementation

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine contemporary technological solutions for integrated information security systems in educational institutions and to assess their potential for implementation.

The study employs a multi-method approach, including analysis of scientific and technical literature, synthesis, modeling, expert evaluation, and systematization. This approach enables a comprehensive examination of the state, trends, and effectiveness of technological solutions in the field of cybersecurity of educational institutions. In particular, the use of modern network security tools, intrusion detection and prevention systems, firewalls, antivirus software, data encryption tools, etc. is considered. It is determined that the key factors in ensuring the effectiveness of protection systems are their complexity, interoperability of components, flexibility and adaptability to constantly changing cyber threats. The most promising avenues for enhancing the efficacy of information security systems in the educational sector are delineated, encompassing the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to identify and neutralize cyber threats, the utilization of cloud computing for centralized administration of security systems, the implementation of biometric user authentication procedures, the integration of a cybersecurity incident management system, and other promising strategies. The consequences of such decisions on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information resources in educational institutions are analyzed. Conclusions The implementation of integrated information security systems based on contemporary technological solutions represents a pivotal area of cybersecurity in educational institutions. An integrated approach that combines technological, organizational, and educational measures allows for the creation of an effective protection system capable of withstanding a wide range of cyber threats. The findings of this study can inform the development of regulatory frameworks, strategies, and programs for cybersecurity in education. Additionally, they can be utilized in the design, implementation, and improvement of information security systems in educational institutions.
