The event attracted a wide range of participants. These included university leaders, faculty members, administrative staff, and website developers from all work units at UNS. The seminar and workshop featured three key sessions. Expert speakers shared valuable insights on digital information governance and cybersecurity in the modern era.

Cybersecurity as a Key Pillar of Education

The first session focused on a seminar titled “Cybersecurity as a Pillar of Higher Education Governance in the Digital Era.” Josua M Sinambela, S.T., M.Eng., CEO of RootBrain.Com, delivered the keynote remarks. He discussed the critical challenges educational institutions face in safeguarding information systems in the digital age.

“It is essential to build a strong culture of cybersecurity in academic environments. Educational institutions face significant risks from digital attacks, which can threaten critical institutional data,” Josua stated on Wednesday (16/4/2025).

Josua’s presentation was not only theoretical but also included practical insights from his work as a digital forensic practitioner. He emphasized the advantages of the Linux operating system for stronger security, compared to other operating systems. In addition, he conducted a live demonstration to show how to detect hacked accounts using source code. Josua also stressed the importance of regular evaluations and updates to information security systems to prevent breaches in the future.

Practical Cybersecurity Measures

Josua provided actionable steps for handling compromised accounts. He explained that merely changing passwords is insufficient, as accounts remain vulnerable to further attacks. He recommended using two-factor authentication (2FA) and conducting regular security system updates.

“There is a significant risk in saving passwords in browsers like Google Chrome. This is often the entry point for hackers,” he added.

Handling Website Security Threats: Workshop Session

The second session featured a workshop titled “Handling Slot Gacor on Websites.” The workshop took place on the 4th floor of the LPPMP UNS Hall. It brought together university leaders, heads of units, IT teams, and members of UNS Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). The session aimed to address the increasing threats posed by unauthorized account access, including slot gacor cases, on university websites.

Bagus Setiawan, S.Si., Head of the Information System Security Division at DTIK UNS, led the workshop. He highlighted that the infiltration of university websites by unauthorized accounts poses serious security risks. During the session, participants learned techniques to detect system vulnerabilities. They also explored the use of WPScan tools to identify open-source code vulnerabilities and prevent digital attacks.

“Intruders often exploit security gaps, such as weak configurations and insecure admin access,” Bagus explained.

Fostering a Cybersecurity Culture at UNS

The seminar and workshop saw strong engagement from the participants. They actively participated in discussions and shared experiences about information security issues within their respective units. Through this event, DTIK UNS aims to build a robust cybersecurity culture on campus. DTIK UNS expects these activities to improve the vigilance and capacity of UNS’s staff. This will help maintain the stability and integrity of the university’s websites.

DTIK UNS hopes to foster cross-unit collaboration, creating a secure, reliable, and trustworthy digital ecosystem across the university.

The workshop featured two keynote speakers: Prof. Dr. Sarwanto, M.Si., Head of LPPMP UNS, and Dr. Muhammad Rohmadi, S.S., M.Hum., Head of the National and International Accreditation Unit. The discussion was moderated by Dr. Veronika Ika Budiastuti, M.Pd., Head of the External Quality Assurance System (SPME) at LPPMP UNS. The event was attended by academic vice deans, heads of study programs, heads of faculty, and vocational school quality assurance units, as well as administrative staff supporting national and international accreditation efforts at UNS.

The primary goal of the workshop was to evaluate the entire process of planning, preparation, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up for the 2024 national accreditation process. LPPMP UNS facilitated discussions where participants shared their experiences and addressed shortcomings from the 2024 accreditation efforts. The focus was on enhancing the accreditation rankings of UNS’s 202 study programs.

As of now, LPPMP UNS has achieved the target of 37 study programs with International Accreditation, 81 programs accredited as “Excellent,” and 49 programs with an “A” rating. To maintain this momentum, LPPMP UNS continues to promote its mission with the tagline: “Excellence and Synergy.” During the workshop, Prof. Sarwanto emphasized the need for study programs to continually develop their strengths.

“Programs that have achieved excellence must keep building and strengthening their core competencies over the next five years to reach international accreditation,” he stated.

Dr. Muhammad Rohmadi, the second speaker, provided an evaluation of the 2024 national accreditation process, highlighting the importance of fostering national and international collaborations over the next five years. This, he noted, would support efforts to secure “Excellent” national accreditation and international recognition.

“All academic vice deans, program heads, quality assurance leaders, and staff must work as a super team to maintain the excellence of their programs. Additionally, study programs must engage in international and national activities based on the Tri Dharma of Higher Education to bolster their strengths,” Dr. Rohmadi urged.

\UNS study programs have made significant strides in improving their quality. Efforts include enhancing and strengthening data within the nine criteria set by the National Accreditation Board (BAN-PT) and Independent Accreditation Bodies (LAM). LPPMP UNS is committed to guiding programs toward achieving “Excellent” and International Accreditation rankings step by step.

The event was attended by the Acting Rector of UNS, Dr. Chatarina Muliana, S.H., S.E., M.H., represented by Vice Rector for Planning, Cooperation, Business, and Information UNS, Prof. Irwan Trinugroho, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., along with LPPM and LPPMP leaders, heads of research centers within LPPM, and all administrative staff at LPPM and LPPMP.

In his speech, the Head of LPPMP UNS, Prof. Dr. Sarwiji Suwandi, M.Pd., stated that LPPM and LPPMP UNS are initiating the ZI towards a Corruption-Free Zone (WBK) and a Clean and Serving Bureaucracy Zone (WBBM). “Before this ZI launch, several efforts were made, including organizational restructuring and strengthening based on existing regulations, continuously striving to improve the quality of public services. We also carried out internal guidance and supervision to achieve professional services and improve the performance and integrity of the academic community to enhance the quality of services responsibly and accountably. For this purpose, we created the tagline for branding LPPMP UNS, namely LPPMP BERBUDI (Cultured and Integrity),” Prof. Sarwiji explained.

The ZI launch is part of the acceleration of UNS’s bureaucratic reform as a step to implement a well-organized, effective, and efficient work system to serve the public quickly, accurately, and professionally according to the principles of good governance. “This integrity pact will be widely publicized so that all parties can monitor and oversee the program. This is necessary because the establishment of ZI cannot be achieved without the support of all stakeholders,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Head of LPPM UNS, Prof. Dr. Fitria Rahwawati, S.Si., M.Si., added that ZI is a designation for institutions whose leaders and staff are committed to realizing WBK and WBBM. According to the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Regulation (PermenpanRB) Number 10 of 2019, the ZI development process goes through five stages: Declaration, Development, Proposal, Assessment, and Determination.

“The declaration is the initial milestone; the most important next step is development. Both LPPM and LPPMP must prepare various instruments, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and regulations to prevent corruption by implementing integrity, professionalism, synergy, and service,” Prof. Fitria said.

The Acting Rector UNS, Dr. Chatarina Muliana, S.H., S.E., M.H., represented by Vice Rector for Planning, Cooperation, Business, and Information UNS, Prof. Irwan Trinugroho, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., in his remarks, highly appreciated this activity. The development of ZI/WBK in Higher Education institutions, particularly in several UNS faculties and all its units, shows two things: the commitment of all UNS leaders and managers to making UNS an integrity campus and a clear understanding that UNS as a PTNBH is a work unit of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) that must implement Bureaucratic Reform (RB).

“The realization of an integrity campus is a strategic step to accelerate the achievement of the goals of higher education as mandated in Article 5 of the Higher Education Law, which can only be accomplished through the initial step of the commitment of UNS leaders and managers together with the entire academic community. Without the leaders’ commitment, the ZI UNS development efforts as part of government bureaucratic reform cannot succeed,” Prof. Irwan explained.

Therefore, it is necessary to address these shortcomings by coordinating with other work units that have received the ZI WBK/WBBM predicate to gain an understanding of the standards in accordance with PermenpanRB regulations. The main goal of developing ZI towards WBK/WBBM is to prevent corruption, collusion, and nepotism and to improve the quality of public services. Its implementation involves continuously enhancing performance accountability, drafting performance contracts, and providing anti-gratification and corruption prevention education.

UNS, as one of the PTNBHs granted broader autonomy in campus management, has a high potential for corruptive abuse of power. The impact of corruption will certainly hinder or even prevent us from achieving the goals of higher education, which is to produce great generations to continue our nation’s ideals, educate the life of the nation, and realize the welfare of all Indonesian people through the utilization of science and technology generated by lecturers as scientists at PTNs.

“With various forms of fraud, which are corruptive behaviors/acts of corruption, I hope that in the implementation of the ZI development towards a Corruption-Free Zone, all leaders in the UNS environment will consistently make efforts to change the six focus areas, namely change management, organizational structuring, HR management system, accountability strengthening, supervision strengthening, and quality public service strengthening,” he added.

Implementing the improvement efforts in these six focus areas will certainly face many challenges. Therefore, support from all UNS leaders and staff is also needed so that, with the spirit of collaborative synergy, all these heavy challenges can be faced more easily. Additionally, by collaborating and synergizing among leaders and all staff, constructive solutions to all challenges can be found.

“I emphasize that the most important stage in ZI is the development itself. Development means building integrity in each unit through planned, massive, comprehensive, and systematic changes and improvements. Building integrity means building systems, people, and culture. I want to remind you that the development of ZI is a key strategy to determine the success of all educational transformation programs to produce excellent UNS graduates through accountable, transparent, and integrity-based campus governance. Hopefully, the ZI launch at LPPM and LPPMP UNS will be a milestone for all components to work together to achieve a true ZI and achieve WBK and WBBM status. The university and the UNS Bureaucratic Reform team are committed to accompanying to achieve the WBK and WBBM predicate,” Prof. Irwan concluded.

The series of ZI launch events held from morning to afternoon included the reading of the WBK WBBM Declaration and Statement by the Head of LPPMP UNS, Prof. Dr. Sarwiji Suwandi, M.Pd., and the Head of LPPM UNS, Prof. Dr. Fitria Rahwawati, S.Si., M.Si.
