The advent of new media technology in organisations has changed workplace settings thereby strengthening job delivery and organisational effectiveness. This paper examines strengthening workplace security through new media technology in the Akwa Ibom State Civil Service. To this end, the survey research method using the instrument of questionnaire was adopted to assess the existence of workplace security, the role played by new media in strengthening workplace security and the challenges experienced in workplace security through the use of new media technology in the Akwa Ibom State Civil Service. The results of the study indicated a low level of awareness of workplace security, a slow penetration of new media technology and several challenges to include the use of new media technology by only employees in the managerial cadre. It is recommended that a deliberate step be taken in enforcing workplace security while encouraging a full penetration of new media technology in the Akwa Ibom State Civil Service.
