The rapid growth of the digital economy poses significant cybersecurity threats, particularly for individuals in accounting and finance. This study investigates the effectiveness of a mobile-based learning program in enhancing cybersecurity awareness among accounting and finance students. The research employs a 4D model approach (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The instruments used include validity and reliability questionnaires, cybersecurity awareness tests, and effectiveness surveys. The mobile learning-based cybersecurity program developed was validated through expert assessment. Test results revealed a significant improvement in cybersecurity awareness among accounting and finance students. The key advantages of this approach include increased student engagement, high accessibility, lower costs, and applicability for students without a technology background. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the enhancement of students' cybersecurity understanding, enabling them to be more vigilant and proactive in safeguarding financial information. These findings can also inform policy development regarding the integration of cybersecurity education into institutional curricula. Given the success of mobile learning programs, further research is recommended to explore their long-term impacts and to customize learning content for diverse fields of expertise. © 2024 Fivia Eliza et al.
