Steganography embeds information in digital media for secure communication. This study compares text and audio steganography based on mean squared error and bit error rate to evaluate the better steganography technique for cybersecurity. Experimental results show that audio steganography achieves an average mean squared error of 1.82E-10 and an average bit error rate of 1.22E-02, supporting cybersecure communication. Audio steganography provides improved security and imperceptibility against adversarial analysis compared to text steganography. The higher mean squared error and bit error rate values of 0.022806 in text steganography indicate increased distortion, making the hidden data more detectable. The superior imperceptibility of audio steganography ensures secure communication for cybersecurity applications.
