According to the 2023 report "Exploring the Industrial Metaverse in Manufacturing" from Deloitte and the Manufacturing Leadership Council, 72 percent of manufacturers are most concerned about the cybersecurity risks associated with implementing metaverse-enabling technologies.

He adds that head-mounted devices pose a challenge because the security model for headsets remains unclear. This article continues to discuss the concept and applications of the metaverse as well as key concerns and considerations surrounding it.
