Details

Main Project Objective:

  • The main objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that ensures Agora Tutoring meets critical data protection regulations and implements robust identity and access management practices. By the end of the project, students are expected to have designed and potentially prototyped solutions that align with industry standards and legal requirements, enhancing the security posture of the platform while fostering trust among its users.
Deliverables

Specific Goals:

Regulatory Compliance Enhancement:

  • Problem: Agora Tutoring needs to ensure that its operations comply with data protection regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. The platform must handle personal and sensitive information with the highest standards of privacy and security.
  • Outcome: Students will create a compliance roadmap and detailed action plan that includes policy development, technological adjustments, and compliance verification mechanisms to meet specific regulatory requirements.

Identity and Access Management System Development:

  • Problem: The current identity and access management (IAM) practices at Agora Tutoring may not sufficiently protect against unauthorized access or internal data breaches. There is a need to reinforce these systems to safeguard user data.
  • Outcome: Students will design an IAM framework that incorporates multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and regular audit capabilities. The project should result in a prototype or a detailed design that can be implemented to enhance data security.


Mentorship

To ensure that the students engaged in the cybersecurity project for Agora Tutoring receive adequate support and mentorship, the company will offer the following resources and assistance:


 Dedicated Mentorship:

  • Assigned Mentors: Students will be paired with experienced professionals from our cybersecurity and IT teams. These mentors will provide guidance, answer questions, and offer insights based on their industry experience.
  • Regular Check-ins: Scheduled weekly meetings will ensure that students can discuss progress, address challenges, and receive feedback in real-time.


Supportive Environment:

  • Feedback Mechanism: A structured feedback system allowing students to submit their queries and feedback about the project, which will be promptly addressed by the team.
  • Final Presentation: At the project's conclusion, students will present their findings and solutions to the senior management team, receiving constructive feedback and recognition for their work.


By providing comprehensive support and resources, Agora Tutoring aims to ensure that students not only complete their project successfully but also gain valuable skills and experience that will aid their future careers in cybersecurity and technology.
