Metaverse offers exciting possibilities for every corner of the cybersphere. From social media to how we deliver education, it will change the way we work, travel, communicate, shop and consume entertainment. A question about these new limits is:
”How will Cybersecurity Professionals and Ethical Computer Hackers use and protect metadata?”
It is clear that the possibilities are endless and the future is exciting.
Get ready!
Attackers will exploit weaknesses and exploit unprepared metadata stores.
Cybersecurity laws and protocols will need to be rethought and modified, and perhaps even invented, to include all the risks of the Metaverse. We can say that this is easier to express than to do.
In today’s society, especially around Cyber Security, technology is constantly developing and changing and it can be difficult to keep up with them. The metadata warehouse will eventually face the “usual challenges of fending off cybersecurity incidents and data breaches,” and more sci-fi type attacks (i.e. hacked avatars ), nft , cryptocurrencies , and DDoS etc. We will see the attacks.
As a result, these events “may be more difficult to identify, verify, and contain, and it may be difficult to ascertain where the responsibility lies for users and data protection authorities for reporting breaches.”
Why is Metaverse need?
These are just a few topics that will need protection in the metaverse space.
And the list may grow in the future:
- Privacy
- Data use ethics and security guidelines
- Biometric data (i.e. user movements and physical characteristics when using VR devices)
Just like new organizations, the metaverse will need some guidelines. Currently, “no system or policy has been established to protect the metadata store, so the provider’s intent should be to enforce these guidelines and systems”.
Once these guidelines are established, they will provide a better foundation on how to prepare against cyber attacks in the metadatabase. With the formation of the foundations, environments will be created where Ethical Hackers can perform invaluable security protection and security tests.
Invaluable Terminals for Cyber Security Professionals!
The possibility of combining the physical and the virtual in a three-dimensional (3D) environment is exciting. When we embark on a cybersecurity engagement, we have a limited number of days to gather and correlate information, draw a conclusion, and report our findings. Image can interact and correlate information faster while finding additional virtual audit trails, saving time (and money).
During penetration testing, we use the computer command line to communicate with various elements of the cybersphere. Imagine being able to do this in a 3D environment. This environment can combine mundane tasks into time-saving packages to execute, almost like using a Python (or other language) script. Perhaps the computer keyboard will be voice-activated, which will run multiple collectors while simultaneously finding data correlations in real time. This will allow it to develop new query lines and begin exploring these possibilities simultaneously, rather than waiting for data collection to complete to begin analysis and discover additional audit trails.
Final Thoughts
At this point, it’s hard to say how the metadata will protect against all future cyber attacks. As mentioned earlier, there is no definitive definition or clear understanding of what a metastore is and will be. We are also preparing for the Metaverse universe and we can say that we can be a pioneer in this field in cyber security.
