Vulnerabilidad en plataformas virtuales y redes sociales en estudiantes de educación media del municipio de Pasto: Estudio de Caso Institución Educativa Municipal Ciudad de Pasto año 2023

Abstract

ABSTRACT: During and after the Covid 19 pandemic, it was evident that the abrupt change in the study modality in institutions from in-person to virtuality caused a great impact on education, teachers and, above all, students. Taking into account the above, this research focuses on determining, analyzing, and counteracting the vulnerability to which young people may be subjected by having full accessibility to the Internet and, above all, within it, unlimited access to social networks, which according to the survey we carried out in 2023 at the I.E.M. Ciudad de Pasto, with the use of MAGERIT, which is the security methodology used to know the risks faced by a system, and the international standard ISO/TEC 27001, which describes how to manage information security in an organization, we were able to determine that social networks are the main causes of young people being victims of cybercrimes such as: cyberbullying, vishing, phishing, cyberbullying, identity theft, hacking, among others. Once this information has been collected, we look for possible solutions applicable to the educational community, allowing the plan we organized to remedy the gaps that we found in the institution's computer rooms, the lack of training on the part of the teachers for the students to avoid being a victim of these crimes, which put their psychological and even physical health and performance in school activities at risk.
