Abstract: Digital transformation has created new opportunities for organizations, but it has also intensified cybersecurity risk. In emerging economies, where institutional support and digital literacy remain limited, cybersecurity awareness plays a crucial role in strengthening digital resilience and fostering a sustainable digital culture. This study introduces the CSR-Integrated Cybersecurity Awareness (CICA) Framework, which conceptualizes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a key driver of cybersecurity awareness, reinforced by the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies. Data were collected from companies in Central Java, Indonesia, that implement CSR-based digital initiatives, with responses gathered from managers, CSR officers, and IT staff. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the findings show that CSR significantly enhances cybersecurity awareness, AI adoption strengthens proactive security measures, and blockchain increases trust and transparency. The results also reveal that CSR mediates the relationship between digital technology adoption and sustainable digital culture. This study contributes by integrating CSR and cybersecurity through emerging technologies, offering theoretical insights and practical implications for organizations in developing regions.
