Abstract
In the modern world, digital technologies play a key role in the field of education, in particular through the widespread use of Learning Management Systems (LMS). Odessa National Maritime University (ONMU) actively uses the LMS Moodle platform to organize distance learning. However, the growth of cyber threats, such as phishing attacks, ransomware and data leaks, emphasizes the need to strengthen the cybersecurity of such systems. This article considers the approach to organizing the cybersecurity of LMS Moodle at ONMU, based on the analysis of the current state of protection, vulnerability identification and development of a targeted cybersecurity profile.
