Ensuring Security in Virtual Adaptive Database Systems for Programming Education

Abstract

In modern programming education, virtual adaptive database systems play a crucial role in simulating real-world environments and personalizing student learning. However, these systems also face serious cybersecurity risks, including data breaches, SQL injection attacks, and unauthorized access. This paper explores the specific security threats faced by educational virtual databases, reviews current methods of protection such as encryption, access control, and monitoring, and evaluates emerging solutions including machine learning and blockchain technologies. Emphasis is placed on how secure design contributes to high-quality training of future programming specialists.
