The growth in technology has transformed our socio-economic system to socio-techno-economic dimension. The usage of online social media for formal / informal interactions has added complexity to our existing communication networks and lifestyles. As a consequence, the security and privacy of individuals / information is now more vulnerable. Security and Privacy of social networks act as means to develop counter-terrorism strategies. Development of appropriate security layers in online social media requires enormous time and financial resources. However, the awareness of such complex issues in Pakistani society is still under-developed. In this study, we have focused on extracting the existing awareness state in the society about privacy, security and information sharing in social media. The study is based on a questionnaire filling. Data has been collected from National University of Sciences & technology, (NUST) Islamabad, Pakistan. Correlations between variables and usage / awareness levels of security settings in social networking sites are evaluated. The results of this study will help in evaluating current user perspective and futuristic interventions required for development of awareness programs and design of security procedures / layers in social media system.
