Abstract—This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of a Mobile Learning-based cybersecurity awareness program in improving cyber hygiene practices among accounting and finance students. This is a research and development conducted using the 4D model approach (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). This research involved three research experts in mobile learning and cybersecurity, with 68 participants being accounting and finance students. Instruments used include validity questionnaires, cybersecurity awareness tests, and cyber hygiene practices questionnaires. Data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive techniques. Consequently, the Mobile learning cybersecurity program proved valid based on expert assessments. The test results revealed a significant improvement in cybersecurity awareness and practices following the program’s implementation. The effectiveness test results show that the Mobile Learning-based cybersecurity awareness program improves cybersecurity practices. This study addresses the growing demand for cybersecurity awareness in sectors vulnerable to cyber-attacks, particularly accounting and finance. By leveraging interactive and flexible mobile learning features, this program overcomes limitations found in previous approaches, providing an innovative solution for enhancing cybersecurity practices. However, the study is limited by its short-term scope, and Future research should not only focus on long-term assessments but also explore the program’s applicability across different educational disciplines.

Keywords—cybersecurity, cybersecurity awareness, digital safety, mobile learning, cyber hygiene, finance, accounting
