Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology in the digital era offers convenience while simultaneously increasing risks related to digital identity and personal data security. Participants at Rumah Gemilang Indonesia (RGI), who are predominantly young and active users of digital platforms, exhibit relatively low levels of digital security literacy, making them vulnerable to cyber threats such as phishing, identity theft, and personal data misuse. This Community Service Program (PkM) aimed to enhance participants’ knowledge, awareness, and practical skills in protecting digital identities and personal data. The program employed educational and participatory approaches, including lectures, discussions, hands-on practice, and case studies, with effectiveness evaluated through pre-test and post-test assessments. The activity was conducted face-to-face at Rumah Gemilang Indonesia, Depok, involving 24 participants. The results showed a substantial improvement in participants’ understanding, with the average correct response rate increasing from 29.86% in the pre-test to 86.81% in the post-test. These findings indicate that structured digital security training is effective in improving digital security literacy among youth. Therefore, this program provides empirical evidence supporting the role of community-based digital security education in fostering safe and responsible digital behavior and enhancing participants’ readiness for technology-driven education and employment environments.
