Web accessibility is essential in ensuring equal access to educational resources for all users, regardless of their physical abilities, and creating barrier-free conditions during education. It promotes equity and accessibility in education, playing a crucial role in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 4, "Quality Education," and Goal 10, "Reduced Inequalities." At the same time, the open university ecosystem must meet contemporary security requirements at all levels of the educational process. Adhering to accessibility principles contributes to forming a structured, reliable, and secure university ecosystem and ensures its resilience to potential cyber threats and other risks. The paper examines key international and national standards that regulate web accessibility issues. Based on the analysis of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, the main requirements and approaches to ensure the accessibility of university web resources are highlighted. As part of the study, the first stage of implementing web accessibility standards into the ecosystem of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University has been realized, namely, an analysis of the university's official portal and the websites of its structural divisions for compliance with accessibility requirements, as well as the optimization and improvement of the university portal according to the specified requirements and approaches for presenting accessible information content to eliminate identified barriers. The study results demonstrated a positive impact on the accessibility of the web resource, enhancing convenience, readability of texts, and content perception. Adherence to accessibility principles creates a foundation for building a secure digital infrastructure for the open university ecosystem.
