Abstract

Metaverse is an instance of the future web. It describes a collective virtual shared space, where users can engage with virtual environments in realtime. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), digital twin, and blockchain technology, the Metaverse is becoming a reality in science fiction. With these technologies, the Metaverse will inevitably emerge with new cybersecurity challenges and risks. Thus, significant privacy and security breaches in the Metaverse could hamper its widespread deployment. This review and analysis paper attempts to dissect the cybersecurity threats related to the Metaverse by outlining the supporting technologies and exploring the cybersecurity vulnerabilities in each of these technologies. The motive is to assess security challenges, privacy threats, and potential controls to manage virtual reality environments with real-time ambience.
