Blackboard has been able to ensure that customers can feel a presence of security.

Some ways
that Blackboard does this is with detailed security advisories and patches, the EU Cookie
Disclosure Building Block, downloadable security webinar, and a dedicated channel to report
security issues. Blackboard Inc. strives to be “vigilant at building security into its products and
providing prompt and carefully tested product updates”. Blackboard follows industry-accepted
security practices utilizing several methods to protect their applications including "top-down"
security assessments through threat modeling and analysis as well as "bottom-up" code-level
threat detection through static analysis, dynamic analysis, and manual penetration testing.
Recent security feature additions for Blackboard Learn include: Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1
Service Pack 8 -new standardized security authentication logs, and SSL Offloading support.
Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1 Service Pack 10- which allows for students to upload files safer.
Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1 Service Pack 12. Blackboard incorporates these security practices
in all phases of the software development lifecycle Open source platforms are being affected by
the Heartbleed bug, but Blackboard must also be prepared for any possible security
vulnerabilities. Blackboard, just like all potential LMS vendors, is expected to not only have
“mechanisms in place for authentication, access control, privacy, data integrity” but most
importantly to perform continuous internal security testing at the code-level (static analysis) and
application-level (dynamic analysis) to ensure it meets both organizational and customer
expectations

Users can sense a sense of security thanks to Blackboard's efforts. Blackboard accomplishes this
in a variety of ways, including thorough security advisories and updates, the EU Cookie
Disclosure Building Block, a downloadable security webinar, and a dedicated security issue
feedback channel. "Blackboard Inc. is attentive in embedding security into its products and
providing quick and well tested product updates," according to the company. Blackboard uses
industry-accepted security measures to secure its applications, including "top-down" threat
modeling and analysis, as well as "bottom-up" code-level threat detection via static analysis,

Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1 Service Pack 8 -new standardized security authentication logs,
and SSL Offloading support are two recent security feature enhancements for Blackboard Learn.
Release 9.1 Service Pack 10 of Blackboard Learn, which makes it safer for students to upload
files. Release 9.1 Service Pack 12 of Blackboard Learn. The Heartbleed bug has impacted open
