Metaverse Security Center
What is Metaverse?
The Metaverse Security Center™ is incubated by Identity Management Institute to prepare cybersecurity professionals for the fast-growing Metaverse industry.
The Metaverse will change our way of life and how people identify themselves, interact with one another, are entertained, and transact using blockchain technology, smart contracts, NFT, and crypto. Metaverse is the new internet comprised of immersive technology backed by widespread adoption and new regulations.
With blockchain technology at its core, Metaverse is an advanced iteration of the current Internet which offers 3D interaction to form the next generation of our digital Web3 world for everything finance, gaming, education, business, entertainment, and digital property transactions with the use of NFT and crypto.
Ownership and self-custody are key enablers of the Web3 metaverse, where power and control are returned to the user from the centralized platforms of today’s Web2. These new features will offer portability, ownership, and traceability with the highest levels of encryption and security yet with this great power comes greater responsibility for the user in private key custody, identity management, and privacy, to name a few.
The adoption, growth, and success of the Metaverse could be confirmed by the investments that large companies are making in Metaverse technologies, research reports making the case for the future of the Metaverse, and mainstream adoption. NFT, digital art and luxury items, crypto payments, and gaming are growing annually in double digits, and this is just the beginning of what the Metaverse can offer and a preview of how it will change our lives.

As the new digital space takes shape to further transition our physical world into the digital realm, experts in the field will be concerned with emerging metaverse security risks which will include new forms of security and data protection threats, identity theft, and fraud."
