Information Security through e- learning using VTE

E-Learning refers to “electronic learning”. E-Learning is the use of any type of technology which improves learning and makes it much easier. Development of E-learning tools is an active area of education today. In today’s fast-paced culture, E-learning is the need of the hour. It is being used as a big platform for enhancing and upgrading knowledge. It increases flexibility in various fields and provides ways to make things both easier and challenging. Better resources, convenience and efficiency are all driving components of e-learning. E learning also has several challenges one of the major challenges of E learning is Information Security. New attacks are emerging rapidly in Information Security; hence the tools and technologies available for securing the information needs substantial upgradation as well as skills to mitigate these attacks. It requires creation of practical training environment with tools and technologies available for Information Security. Virtual Training Environment for Information Security gives a new dimension to Elearning. Government of India introduced VTE for making this field more efficient. The aim of this paper is to present Virtual training environment and its importance for the students as well as the whole society. KeywordsE-learning ,Information Security, Virtual training envoirment
