Resumen

El estudio analizó la relación entre la computación y la ciberseguridad en la protección de aplicaciones informáticas en plataformas de formación digital. Se identificaron vulnerabilidades frecuentes en sistemas educativos, tales como accesos no autorizados, debilidades en los mecanismos de autenticación y exposición de datos sensibles. La investigación adoptó un enfoque descriptivo, sustentado en la revisión documental y el análisis de casos en contextos educativos, lo que permitió evaluar los mecanismos de seguridad de la información implementados en sistemas de gestión del aprendizaje. Los resultados evidenciaron que la aplicación de protocolos de seguridad, el cifrado de datos y las políticas de control de acceso contribuyeron significativamente a la mitigación de riesgos cibernéticos. Asimismo, se destacó la importancia del desarrollo de competencias digitales seguras en estudiantes y docentes. Se concluyó que la integración de estrategias de ciberseguridad en el diseño y uso de aplicaciones académicas fortaleció la protección de la información, lo que promovió plataformas digitales más confiables y resilientes.
