This study explores the development and application of a digital twin-driven cybersecurity risk assessment model for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks. The increasing complexity and interconnectivity of IIoT systems have expanded the attack surface, making them vulnerable to a wide range of cyber threats. The digital twin model addresses this challenge by creating real-time virtual replicas of physical systems, which can simulate and predict network vulnerabilities and attack vectors. The model uses machine learning algorithms and real-time data to simulate cyberattacks, including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), malware, and data breaches. By providing continuous monitoring and dynamic risk predictions, the digital twin model enhances the resilience of IIoT networks compared to traditional cybersecurity frameworks. The findings indicate that the model's ability to predict potential cyber threats and simulate various attack scenarios provides a more proactive and accurate approach to cybersecurity in IIoT environments. Additionally, the study highlights key mitigation strategies, including adaptive security mechanisms, real-time anomaly detection, and the use of lightweight encryption for resource-constrained devices. Despite its effectiveness, challenges such as computational requirements, integration with legacy systems, and scalability were identified. This research underscores the strategic importance of digital twin models in securing IIoT systems and advancing Manufacturing 4.0 ecosystems. Future research should focus on enhancing model accuracy, expanding its application to diverse industrial sectors, and improving interoperability with legacy systems to further strengthen the security posture of IIoT networks.

This research aims to explore the forms, meanings, and processes of innovation undertaken by traditional Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in facing the challenges of the digital era, with a particular emphasis on the role of local wisdom as a foundation for innovation. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this research explores the subjective experiences of MSMEs integrating cultural values with technological transformation. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, which were then analyzed using thematic methods. The results show that innovation in traditional MSMEs is not solely focused on technological aspects, but rather is the result of negotiations between cultural values, social adaptation, and modern market demands. Local wisdom has proven to be a source of values and ethics in product development, marketing strategies, and the digital transformation process. The innovation process occurs contextually and gradually, and is heavily influenced by community support and strong local social networks. This study confirms that culture-based innovation strategies provide a more sustainable and inclusive direction for MSMEs navigating the digital era. Therefore, digital transformation should not be separated from the social and cultural context in which MSMEs are rooted. This approach opens up space for a new understanding of more holistic innovation, which is not only technology-oriented, but also strengthens local identity and social cohesion within the MSME ecosystem.

Crypto asset transactions in Indonesia have rapidly developed alongside financial technology advancements, yet they pose legal challenges concerning investor protection. Under Indonesian civil law, civil liability for investor losses may be based on Article 1243 and Article 1365 of the Civil Code, depending on whether the loss arises from a breach of contract or an unlawful act. Additionally, the Consumer Protection Act may serve as a legal basis in cases involving violations of consumer rights. However, the application of such liability encounters juridical obstacles, including the absence of specific regulations defining the legal status of crypto assets as legal objects, regulatory gaps regarding business actors’ obligations, and evidentiary difficulties due to the anonymous nature of digital transactions. In this context, regulatory reform is essential to establish legal certainty and effective investor protection. The regulation should include digital security standards, transparent risk disclosures, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Active roles of Bappebti and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in oversight, as well as legal literacy for the public, are critical to creating a responsible and secure crypto asset trading ecosystem.
