This paper describes how to secure e-learning systems by applying the Holistic and Immune Security Framework. E-learning has great potential for developing communities but security of e-learning systems has not been fully addressed. We have developed a security framework that considers culture of users and environments where information systems operate. We apply the holistic approach to secure e-learning systems. The holistic and immune security framework is a function of the deterrence, prevention, detection, response, and recovery system. The security framework makes an E-learning system learn to adapt to environments and to culture of users. We apply the principles of immune system to secure E-learning systems. We describe how to secure the weak links that are created by culture of users in E-leaning systems.
