Abstract

Data security is the main challenge of any internet communication, the world is facing many major cyber-attacks, and many jobs today cannot be done without the use of internet. It is impossible for a medium that transmits data to be secure all the time. The higher the speed of communication, the greater the chance of errors. Educational institutions face a range of cyber security threats, including malware infections and data misuse. This paper will analyze the types of cybernetic security threats faced by educational institutions in Kosovo and the impact they may have on students, teachers, and staff. It also examines the various strategies that can be implemented to reduce these risks, such as using passwords, regularly updating software and systems, and providing information security training to staff and students. The research is based on a review of existing literature and case studies, as well as interviews with cyber security experts and cyber technology professionals in the education sector in Kosovo.
