Digital Safety in the Metaverse

Project tags:

information assurance & cybersecurity

information behavior & user research

information literacy

In this project, we identified potential digital safety concerns in the metaverse based on current trends in Web 2.0. We first develop three use cases in the healthcare, social, and entertainment sectors with specific scenarios. Then we identified current compensating controls to propose mitigation strategies for each risk in all three scenarios. Lastly, we categorised common risk categories to inform areas of concern and potential impact in the metaverse for general users.
