Analysis of Digital Ethics and Student Data Security in the Use of Academic Information Systems

Abstract

The Academic Information System (SIAKAD) is a crucial digital infrastructure used to support academic administration processes in higher education. As technology utilization increases in data management, concerns regarding digital ethics and student information security are becoming increasingly important. This research effort aims to evaluate students' awareness of digital ethics, data security practices, and their level of trust in SIAKAD security. The study used a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to students, with analysis including descriptive statistics, validity tests, and reliability tests to map behavioral trends. The results indicate that students have a high level of digital ethics awareness, but this is not fully reflected in their security behaviors. Risky habits are still common, particularly storing passwords in browsers, using shared devices without protection, and not logging out after accessing SIAKAD. Furthermore, students' level of trust in system security is relatively low, particularly related to concerns about internal access and potential academic data leaks. The study recommends improving digital security literacy education, implementing multi-factor authentication, transparency of privacy policies, and adding security features to strengthen data protection and increase student trust in SIAKAD.
