Caveon<\/a>. Cory Clark\u2014Meazure Learning\u2019s Director of Operational Excellence\u2014led Caveon\u2019s Steve Addicott in a case study presentation about enhanced security monitoring in remotely proctored exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Is Enhanced Security Monitoring and Why Is It Important?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n In the presentation, titled \u201cRaising Your Exam Security,\u201d MuleSoft\u2019s Simon Welham delivered a message about the importance of security to the integrity of an exam program. (Check out Welham’s message via the video below.) Meanwhile, Clark and Addicott described the measures that global, high-stakes programs, like MuleSoft, can take to enhance their test security. Exam security is critical to prevent proxy testing, identify potential misconduct, and protect content from being compromised or shared. Therefore, security measures need to be present throughout the assessment life cycle\u2014not just during the proctoring phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why Meazure Learning developed an Enhanced Security Monitoring (ESM) program. The ESM program conducts an adaptive post-session analysis of data trends to detect potential collusion, item harvesting, and\/or behavioral patterns. The goal of the ESM program is to take a holistic approach in order to prevent, deter, detect, and react to exam security threats. By adopting this approach, Meazure Learning and its partners can regularly assess threats, create security solutions, and evaluate the results. The process involves deploying a constant monitoring and enhanced security strategy, which helps exam program leaders not only detect cheating but also identify integrity breaches and continually develop new security tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n

After administering the exams, we deployed our ESM program to detect data points that signal potential collusion in MuleSoft\u2019s program. This identification led to a deeper analysis by Caveon\u2019s web patrol team, which further detected and prioritized threats. Then Caveon\u2019s data forensics specialists highlighted suspicious patterns in MuleSoft\u2019s exams and relayed potential instances of cheating and fraud. With the actionable intel provided by Meazure Learning and Caveon, MuleSoft identified and blocked several instances of coordinated cheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
