Enhancing Data Security in Cloud-Based ERP Systems for Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

The adoption of cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in higher education institutions (HEIs) provides significant advantages in terms although these benefits are accompanied by information security and protection concerns these benefits may be a significant burden. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the security challenges associated with cloud-based ERP in HEIs and proposes a robust framework to mitigate these risks. Through an extensive literature review and evaluation of current ERP modules we identify critical gaps and suggest enhancements to bolster data protection. The study aims to guide HEIs in securely leveraging cloud ERP solutions for efficiency and cost reduction.
