Cybersecurity is a practice that protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks, this might include malicious attacks by hackers, spammers, and cybercriminal (Kelley, 2024). For instance, cybersecurity can protect the systems by continuously monitor malicious activities and implement protective measures such as firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection systems. Therefore, by keep practicing cybersecurity in the development of business, entrepreneurs can protect their sensitive data or information and prevent financial loss (Pratt, 2024). Furthermore, organizations with strong cybersecurity system can build trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders (Szleter, 2023). Nowadays, everyone is concern about sharing their information to an organization due to the increases number in cyberattack (Marquez, 2023). In this circumstance, a strong cybersecurity system is needed in every organization to enhance the privacy and security of users’ information. Therefore, users will feel more confident and secure in sharing their personal and sensitive information with the organization. In conclusion, cybersecurity practice is important to adapt society 5.0.

Apply critical thinking to conduct thorough market research and validate entrepreneurial ideas. Analyse market needs, consumer behaviour, and competition to identify gaps and opportunities for disruptive solutions that align with Society 5.0's goals of improving quality of life through technology integration.

    Use problem-solving abilities to uncover societal issues that can be addressed through creative approaches. Identify issue statements, generate ideas for potential solutions, prototype them, test them iteratively to make sure they satisfy user demands, and, finally, apply design thinking approaches to build empathy with end users. Adopt a mindset that sees setbacks as teaching moments. Entrepreneurs that possess critical thinking and problem-solving abilities are better able to assess failures, identify the underlying reasons behind them, and use what they learn to inform future ventures—thereby promoting a continuous improvement culture. (Supendi, A., & Nurjanah, N, 2020)

    “Critical Thinking prevents individuals from being susceptible to manipulation. Moreover, critical thinking allows people to solve problems more creatively, independently, and effectively” (Stenberg, & Halpern, 2020).
