Computer security is defined as the protection of a system from damage and theft of their hardware, information and software as well as the wrong usage of the service that one provides. This includes physical security from people such as actual burglars, and protection from cyber attacks, and viruses. The IT team is also in charge of protect the information from accidental leaks.
As of today our project Misión: Marte is all mounted on AWS. We are putting our trust on that provider, so we really don't have much saying on the physical security of our information. We chose this server because we know it is trustworthy.
As for the protection of our software, we decided to encrypt all the information, because we wouldn't like it to be easily accessed by someone without out permissions. We have also created different privilege levels, so not everyone can see all the information, we wouldn't like that a student could see the progress of another student, It wouldn't be useful.
As for protection from malware, we decided to update all our libraries. We are using Phaser JS for the development of our app, and we were using an older version that was very well documented, but we decided that safety came first, so we moved on to the newer one.
We found out that our application can be accessed through mobile as well, so we are taking advantage and covering the risks that this improvised feature might bring us.
