Abstract

Any precaution taken to keep digital information and computer networks safe is included under the umbrella term "information system security." In the course of this investigation, a literature assessment of the significant background theory for the research subject was carried out. A comprehensive look at the research industry as a whole is presented, and the importance of developing preventative security technology is emphasised. When compared to the networks found in corporations, the ones found at colleges are exceedingly intricate. Nevertheless, it is required to keep up its already exceptional level of service. Security at universities can be difficult to maintain because to the vast number of users, the diverse client devices, and the academic freedom enjoyed by both academics and departments. It is possible for computer networks to go through a procedure known as scanning and vulnerability evaluation in order to ascertain the various types of security measures that have been implemented and the degree to which they are being attacked. It is essential to install screening and vulnerability assessment technologies in order to stop malicious software or hackers from exploiting security holes. This will prevent security flaws from being exploited.
