Keywords:

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of visual poster media in improving information security literacy among the general public. The massive use of the internet has made users increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats such as phishing, online scams, and digital identity theft . Public education through visual media has been shown to enhance awareness and understanding of digital security issues . The research employed a pre-test and post-test design involving 100 respondents. The instrument measured threat knowledge, identification ability, attitudes, and protective behaviors. The results indicate a significant improvement in information security literacy after the poster intervention. Therefore, posters can serve as an effective and easily deployable educational tool in digital security awareness campaigns .
