Cybersecurity analysis of e-learning platforms is critical because they store and transmit sensitive and confidential information, such as personal data of students and teachers, grades and test results, and academic documents. In addition, e-learning platforms are often used to conduct online learning activities, which can increase the risk of disruptions and technical problems if not properly managed. The paper aims to perform a systematic literature review of cybersecurity issues in Moodle, Blackboard, and Microsoft Teams e-learning platforms using the protocol defined by Kitchenham from 2016 to 2022. The results detail some measures, including data encryption, more robust user authentication, software upgrades, and security policies that mitigate threats in these learning environments.
