A student administration system was at risk to cyber attacks and data mismanagement, report reveals

The confidential records of children and teachers have been left vulnerable to cyber security attacks and data mismanagement due to departmental oversight in the Northern Territory Government, a report from the auditor general's office has revealed.A leading cyber-security expert says the auditor general's report raises major concerns, and the data system should be restructured

Although the system does not have any financial information, it is used to determine funding allocations to NT government schools. The auditor general's report highlighted a number of issues with the Education Department's data management.It also stated there was no adequate monitoring of user activities, which could"impair incident investigation activities associated with a cyber-security incident".

Matt Warren, who is a professor of cyber security with more than 20 years' experience and is the deputy director of the Deakin University Centre for Cyber Security Research and Innovation, said the report raised significant concerns."I think what it highlights is a system that was designed without security in mind," he said.
