Digital Media Technologies, Information Security Practices, Cyber Threats, Encryption Methods, Social Media Vulnerabilities, Holistic Security FrameworksAbstract
Digital media technologies transformed communication systems through exceptional advancement rates. Rapid technological progress transformed how we collaborate with others alongside information distribution practises. Modern technology provided easier connectivity and performance optimization but introduced extensive problems with infrastructure security. The study investigates how digital media technologies relate to information security by analysing storage procedures across systems and encryption protocols and social media network development patterns. A total of 280 participants were utilised in the study to evaluate both critical security hazards and educational requirements as well as existing defence systems. Research findings indicate an immediate requirement to create an integrated security framework connecting technology innovation to regulatory action and behavioural guidance to minimise risks. Through this research organisations receive targeted recommendations that enhance their security frameworks during their digital transformation phase.
