ABSTRACT

We need to create SAFE immersive environments! XR misuse by attackers can potentially lead to psychological, physical, reputational, social and economic harm. In this session, XRSI founder and CEO, Kavya Pearlman explores the potential of threats in XR systems, how to mitigate them and how to better protect end-users and enterprises moving forward. This session will approach the topic from multiple directions. It will provide an introduction to the XR domain, discuss XR-specific security challenges, concerns, and constraints, and the types of threats XR is experiencing and may experience in the future. Discussion will also involve issues of privacy and trust in the context of cyber-attacks, child safety, disinformation, and propaganda. Finally, it will frame how the industry can respond to these challenges: Actionable advice on how to create SAFE immersive environments in order to move from research prototypes and early demonstrators to secure, reliable and trustworthy systems that can play a more significant role in everyday life.
