This study aims to analyze individual awareness of digital security, identify dominant cyber threats, and formulate effective self-protection strategies in the digital era. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach supported by simple quantitative data collected through online surveys and limited interviews conducted from January to March 2026. The findings indicate that despite high internet usage, users’ awareness of digital security remains relatively low, primarily due to limited digital literacy and inadequate formal education on cybersecurity. Phishing, online fraud, and account hacking emerge as the most prevalent threats, often exploiting users’ psychological vulnerabilities through social engineering techniques. The study also reveals that user behavior, such as weak password management and neglect of security updates, significantly contributes to increased risk. In conclusion, strengthening digital literacy and promoting continuous cybersecurity education are essential to improving user awareness and resilience. The study suggests the need for collaborative efforts among governments, educational institutions, and digital platforms to build a safer and more inclusive digital ecosystem.
