The article deals with the problem of human security in terms of immersion in a digital environment. At the same time, security is considered as protection from internal and external threats. The question is raised about the need to develop an integrated security concept. It is noted that the process of digitalization of the social world is becoming total, new concepts are emerging to describe its conditions. The characteristics of the digital environment and the digital world are given, and the existence of a person in the digital world is described. It is stated that the most important indicator of a person’s existence in such a world is his sensuality. The role of impressions in human life and society is increasing dramatically, an industry for the production of impressions and trade in them is developing in the world, which affects the decrease in the stability of society. The article reveals the main directions of transformation of human nature and manipulation in modern conditions. Discussing the ways of forming and strengthening mental immunity, the idea of which is expressed in the scientific literature, the authors, nevertheless, argue that we should be talking about social immunity, a private modification of which is mental immunity. It is noted that in the development of the concept of integral security, which is so necessary for modern Russia, a decisive role belongs to philosophy, which formulates ideological and methodological principles of security.
