we present the final aspects to consider when implementing NIS2.
Challenges and benefits of implementing NIS2 on open source platforms
The implementation of the NIS2 Directive in the context of open source e-learning platforms such as Moodle™, Open edX® or Chamilo presents some challenges. The openness of the code means that potential attackers may have easier access to analyse and find vulnerabilities. On the other hand, the open source community is often quick to respond to detected issues by offering patches and updates, which can speed up the process of securing a system.
Summary
Implementing NIS2 on open source e-learning platforms requires a number of technical and organisational measures, but also offers the flexibility to tailor security to the individual institution’s needs. Regular security audits, protection of personal data and user education on cyber security are crucial. Adhering to these principles will not only ensure compliance with the new regulations, but will also contribute to increasing trust in e-learning platforms and protecting the data of their users.
