In the era of digital transformation, the business process landscape is not the only aspect undergoing significant changes; the darker side of life is also experiencing a digital metamorphosis. The vast digital interconnectivity driving global business processes has become a promising target for cybercriminals. Cybersecurity incidents affecting organizations and companies are often caused by vulnerabilities in their IT infrastructure and systems.
To address these vulnerabilities, organizations must continually update and evaluate their security posture. Strengthening this posture is only possible when vulnerabilities in the system are identified. The process of discovering these security vulnerabilities can be achieved through a security testing method known as penetration testing (Pentesting) or ethical hacking. However, the challenge lies in the fact that the pentesting process is time-consuming and involves several stages, including information gathering, network scanning, enumeration, vulnerability research, exploitation, and reporting. This complexity often requires the involvement of cybersecurity experts.
Sumberarum Village, located in Magelang Regency, Central Java, was selected as one of the community service targets by UGM Vocational College in 2024. This program, led by Dr. Umar Taufiq, S.Kom., M.Cs., aims to improve the quality of life of the local community through digital technology. Sumberarum Village holds great potential as a tourist destination due to its natural hot springs with medicinal properties. However, the community faces challenges in promoting local potentials and accessing education. As a solution, a website, https://desasumberarum.com, was developed to promote the village’s assets, including palm sugar products, Islamic boarding schools, and local eateries.

The Mangayubagyo Wisudawan/Wisudawati Period I Academic Year 2024/2025 event, organized by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Informatics at the Vocational School of Universitas Gadjah Mada, was held at the Ballroom of the Teaching Industry Learning Center on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, at 1:00 PM WIB. A total of 31 graduates, consisting of 22 students from the Software Engineering Technology program, 5 students from the Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology program, 2 students from the Electrical Engineering Technology program, and 2 students from the Internet Engineering Technology program, participated in the event.
Recent research presented by Fitri Puspasari and her team at SNTT 2024 highlights the significance of temperature and humidity monitoring technology in various applications, ranging from smart home systems to the agricultural sector. The study utilized DHT22 and Si7021 sensors integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller and the Blynk application to develop a real-time monitoring prototype. The research aims to compare the performance of these sensors in terms of response time, measurement accuracy, and energy consumption. With an IoT-based approach, this solution offers a cost-efficient way to meet the growing demand for environmental monitoring.
