<![CDATA[Cybersecurity in learning systems has become increasingly important as educational institutions rely more heavily on digital platforms such as learning management systems, online assessments, and cloud-based academic services. This rapid digital transformation exposes learning environments to sophisticated cyber threats that may disrupt academic activities and compromise sensitive information. However, many institutions still lack a clear understanding of how users perceive cyber risks and how these perceptions influence the effectiveness of cybersecurity systems. Currently, there is a significant research gap regarding empirical evidence that links user behavioral psychology with technical security outcomes in the Indonesian educational context. This study aims to empirically analyze the relationship between cyber awareness, perceived impact of cyber attacks, and perceived effectiveness of cybersecurity systems in digital learning environments. A quantitative research approach was applied using data collected from 402 respondents. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and group comparison tests to examine variable relationships and demographic differences. The findings indicate that cyber awareness significantly and positively predicts perceived system effectiveness (β = 0.501, p < 0.001), demonstrating that higher awareness levels enhance overall cybersecurity performance. Conversely, the perceived impact of cyber attacks does not show a significant effect on system effectiveness, suggesting that awareness is more influential than threat perception alone. Additional results reveal gender-based differences in cyber incident experiences, while awareness levels remain similar. The practical implications emphasize the importance of cybersecurity awareness programs, digital safety education, and proactive defense strategies to strengthen protection in learning systems and improve institutional cybersecurity readiness.]]>
