• Real-Time Threat Intelligence: Implementing
real-time updates from VirusTotal and other se-
curity databases will enable proactive detection of
emerging threats and malicious payloads.
• User Interface Enhancements: Refining the in-
terface with improved visualization and real-time
feedback mechanisms will enhance user experi-
ence and threat interpretation.
• Performance and Scalability Optimization: As
the volume and complexity of digital media con-
tinue to rise, optimizing computational efficiency
will ensure faster analysis without compromising
accuracy.
• Multi-Layered Security Integration: Extending
compatibility with other cybersecurity tools, such
as endpoint protection solutions and digital foren-
sics platforms, will provide a more holistic secu-
rity framework.
• Extensive User Testing and Feedback Integra-
tion: Conducting real-world testing with cyberse-
curity experts and users will help refine detection
algorithms and usability features, ensuring practi-
cal deployment effectiveness.
By addressing these future enhancements, Stack
Tracer has the potential to become a leading solution
in multimedia security, bridging the gap between ste-
ganalysis and real-time threat detection.
