Digital literacy, cybercrime, prevention strategiesAbstract
This article discusses the importance of digital literacy as a strategy for defending and preventing cybercrime by focusing on the Road to Digital Literacy framework from the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo) and the Digital Competence Framework (DigComp). The background of this research is driven by the increasing cases of cybercrime that harm individuals, companies, and government agencies. The development of information and communication technology causes cybercrime to become an increasingly urgent issue and threatens individual security. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method that aims to explore and describe the condition of people's digital literacy and its relationship with cybersecurity. The results show that low digital literacy contributes to the increasing vulnerability of individuals and organizations to cyber attacks. This article contains a mapping framework tailored to the age range of the community. The mapping is done to identify the digital competencies needed, as well as concrete steps that can be taken to improve digital literacy among the community. Not only that, this article also recommends various strategies to improve digital literacy, including community-based education and training programs. These initiatives should involve collaboration between the government, educational institutions and communities in an effort to strengthen digital literacy. These programs should not only aim to improve technical knowledge, but also to build awareness of the importance of cybersecurity and digital ethics among internet users. Thus, digital literacy serves as a tool to improve individual knowledge and skills, while creating a safer digital environment. The findings are expected to provide insights and contributions in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in strengthening cyber resilience in Indonesia. Effective efforts to improve digital literacy are expected to reduce the risk of cybercrime and create a society that is more aware of digital threats.
