Businesses should also plan to invest heavily in cybersecurity as they set up shop in the metaverse.
Multi-factor authentication and digital rights management will be critical for protecting the digital identities
and assets used to populate the metaverse. Vulnerability testing and patch management should also be
prioritized due to the emerging nature of metaverse technologies.

Essentially, a strong digital culture evolves as businesses and their employees begin to see “digital” as
a value instead of a format. Building a metaverse-ready workforce requires moving in that direction. As
businesses become more comfortable in the metaverse environment, they will be better equipped to
identify and take advantage of the opportunities it will bring to the business world.
