Information security management in e-learning

E-learning is a new method of learning and it depends on the Internet in its execution. Internet has become the venue for a new set of illegal activities and E-learning environment is now exposed to the threats. In this paper the benefit and growth of e-learning is elaborated. This paper discusses the security elements needed in e-learning. In addition, explains the situation and existing research on security in e-learning. Information security management is suggested to contribute in preparing the secured e-learning environment.
