Interaction in a professional and business sense is a key focus of businesses wanting to participate in the metaverse, which offers a new space to learn, conduct business and collaborate.
Safety and security are the top factors affecting the commitment to operate in a virtual environment, even ahead of macroeconomic concerns.
Respondents to the Tenable study made the following recommendations:
1. Shift left in the metaverse – Building cybersecurity into software code will be important in securing metaverses.
2. Identify all cloud misconfigurations and vulnerabilities – Don’t just focus on the new threats but also reduce the risk of existing threats on current assets before transcending the metaverse.
3. Gain visibility into all internet-facing assets – Security teams need to be aware of their full virtual footprint.
This Tenable online survey was conducted from Oct. 25 – Nov. 8, 2022, with 1,500 professionals representing roles in cybersecurity, DevOps and IT engineering. Respondents came from organisations with 26 or more employees in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
