<![CDATA[E-procurement systems are increasingly central to public procurement reform, but their integrity depends on robust cybersecurity measures. This paper investigates cybersecurity vulnerabilities in Indonesia’s e-procurement platforms, analyzing risks related to data breaches, fraud, and manipulation by corrupt actors. Using technical assessments, policy reviews, and interviews with IT professionals and procurement officials, the study identifies gaps in system security, user awareness, and regulatory oversight. Findings reveal that inadequate cybersecurity threatens the transparency and effectiveness of e-procurement, potentially facilitating new forms of corruption. The paper recommends comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks, regular audits, and capacity-building programs to strengthen system resilience. By addressing the intersection of digital security and corruption control, this research contributes to international discussions on safeguarding e-governance tools in developing countries.]]>
