Cybersecurity Framework for Moodle Implementation: Why Security is a Non-Negotiable in EdTech
Presentation Description
In today’s digital first education landscape, cybersecurity is no longer optional it is a fundamental necessity. In her session, “Cybersecurity Framework for Moodle Implementation: Why Security is a Non-Negotiable in EdTech,” Sheryl Villaroman introduces a structured framework designed to safeguard Moodle environments against the growing wave of cyber threats. Rooted in Nephila Web’s Information Security Management System (ISMS) policies, the framework leverages a research-based Moodle Security Tripartite Responsibility Model that clearly defines the shared roles of Moodle HQ, Moodle Partners, and client institutions.
This presentation goes beyond theory, offering insights from real-world implementations that highlight the importance of aligning infrastructure security, platform integrity, and user accountability. Sheryl emphasizes that true cybersecurity is not achieved through one-time measures but through continuous collaboration among stakeholders. Participants will gain both high-level strategic understanding and practical guidance on building secure, resilient Moodle systems that prioritize learner safety and institutional trust.
