Title: Security Governance in Education Systems

Abstract of the invited talk:

As educational institutions become more automated, student information, both personal data and performance information, is stored. Such information must be appropriately protected in a way that ensures its security and builds trust. Security governance, understood as the process of monitoring the human and technical teams responsible for ensuring security, aims to align the priorities of these processes with the processes of the educational system. It is for this reason that every learning system must be built with safety governance in mind.
