Risk Assessment on Cloud Computing for The Learning System in The Education Environment

Purpose-Cloud computing as a service facility in online learning systems provides good solutions for educational institutions. Reasons for educational institutions to use cloud computing as a means of learning include cloud service providers providing sizable hardware and software resources, so educational institutions do not have to pay a large amount of money to buy hardware and software as an investment. But as long as this online learning system runs there will definitely be risks, for example performance problems from internet network connections. This study aims to discuss this problem. Methodology/approach In this study, firstly identifying dangerous or harmless activities to the activities carried out in cloud computing, then determining the impact, aspects, likelihood and severity of risks, and finally determining the level of risk from these activities using a risk matrix. Finding- By using a risk register in the learning system, risk analysis and evaluation can show the Incident, Cause, impact, risk type, risk category, aspect, likelihood, severity, and risk level for each dangerous or non-hazardous activity. Originality/value - The tools used to measure the level of risk for dangerous or non-hazardous activities for the learning system can be used for more extensive research aimed at measuring institutional-level risks in the education sector.
