Item Revisión de vulnerabilidades en sitios web de instituciones de educación superior en Colombia: identificación y recomendaciones para prevención y mitigación de ataques(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Alzate Romero, Santiago; Paredes Apráez, Manuel Alejandro; Loaiza Buitrago, Diego Fernando (Director)Given its wide extension and diversity, cybersecurity has become a rather complex concept to control in its entirety, either because of the different hacking techniques or some vulnerability found within the system. This article aims to present the most common vulnerabilities that may occur along with the most common monitoring tools for web pages. We randomly investigated higher education institutions that have an information system to interact with students for academic and/or administrative purposes and studied their tools used in the development of their platforms, in order to present the vulnerabilities that can be found in their internal structure. The results indicated that most of the websites are developed under the PHP programming language together with the DRUPAL tool, which showed potential vulnerabilities that cyber attackers can use to gain access to the system and that, in many cases, there is no prevention or reaction plan for these situations. For this reason, it is concluded that it is necessary to reinforce the concept of cybersecurity both in good practices or standards and in training for all positions in the organization, including the end user, which in this case would be the student.
