Securing Digital Classrooms: Cybersecurity Laws and Data Protection in Global Education Networks
Author : Yusra Ashfaq, Sameera Shareef and A Swathi
Abstract :
Education doesn’t stop at borders now. Students everywhere jump into online classes, toss ideas around on cloud platforms, and lean on AI tools to learn.
Pretty cool, right? We get access to stuff and people we never would’ve met before. Still, there’s a catch security. Hackers poke around, data leaks happen, and personal info sometimes goes places it shouldn’t. That’s a real headache for both schools and students these days.
This paper dives into how online security and data protection are changing in schools. What's working? What's not? How are different countries trying to fix the mess with new laws? I've also built something called the 4-Layer Digital Shield to help keep student data safe. You will see examples, some global data (imagine it's real), and the big takeaway: strong, worldwide data protection laws matter if we want students to be safe online, no matter where they live.
