Abstract

The experience of recent years has brought to the forefront a problem that can affect our everyday life: cybercrime. In higher education institutions, this problem is quite acute due to the increase in the number and types of equipment that can be connected to data networks. This problem is also influenced by the nature of educational and research activities involving a large number of teaching staff, auxiliary or non-teaching staff and students as well as complex computing and research systems in various fields. Members of higher education institutions are may be victims of cyber-attacks of all kinds (social engineering, DDOS attacks, Trojans, viruses and worms), or the need to find win–win variants as easily as possible can bring some of these into cybercrime. Finding a restricted access variant with different security barriers is essential for the proper functioning of the education and research process in this type of institution. In this context, the research objective is to identify and classify the main threats and attacks on the data network, the various information and research currently faced by higher education institutions. These issues need to be treated with utmost seriousness because, in general, the annihilation of cyber-attacks is done after they have been done, thus completely or partially losing certain data, and the creation of security barriers could limit access by attackers to confidential information of the institution. The results serve to open a new research direction that leads to the development of a security management model tailored to academic activity.
