Despite its many advantages, e- learning systems and platforms are subjected to security threats and risks such as privacy breaches, data manipulation, fraudulent e-learning platforms, etc. These issues can be further classified such as general risks, stakeholder-specific risks, physical system risks, etc. where each can have dire consequences, especially in cases where potential misuse of personal and confidential information is involved. The global embrace of e-learning, although beneficial, also presents commercialized platforms prioritizing profit over security, leading to potential data breaches. Effective risk management is crucial for the reliability and regulatory compliance of e-learning systems. This research examines general and stakeholder-related risks in the e-learning sector in the context of the UK. The purpose of this research is to explore and investigate these risks and different management strategies. The primary objective is to augment knowledge of e-learning system vulnerabilities and devise robust risk management models to safeguard against cyber security threats and risk, which leads to a secure, authentic, and credible educational environment for everyone around the globe.73ene-learninge-learning platformse-learning systemsriskscyber securitycyber threat.Thesis
