This trend has rendered traditional cybersecurity education models inadequate in addressing the challenges of the digital era. Guided by the theory of collaborative governance and the framework of digital transformation, this paper examines the multi-stakeholder collaborative mechanism involving the government, businesses, community organizations, universities, and residents. It subsequently proposes a series of implementation strategies such as digitizing educational content, intellectualizing platforms, contextualizing delivery methods, and refining management precision. Studies demonstrate that this model enables effective resource integration, improves educational precision, and boosts resident engagement. It represents a fundamental shift from unilateral dissemination to multi-party interaction and from decentralized management to collaborative synergy, offering a replicable “Foshan Model” for digital governance at the community level.
