As technology advances, encryption methods must adapt to protect sensitive information. Organizations must stay informed about emerging threats and regularly update their protocols to stay ahead. Investing in advanced encryption technologies can mitigate potential breaches. Encryption protects intellectual property, multimedia data, and personal data from cyber threats, a crucial consideration for businesses and individuals in the digital age.This work introduces four AES-based threads for encrypting and decoding multimedia data. Both sequential and parallel methods have been used for data security. Furthermore, time analyses for sequential and parallel processing algorithms have been conducted using images of various sizes and formats. The examination of the results indicates that the encryption process will be completed faster and will provide network-wide data safety in parallel method.
