GUEST ESSAY: The promise and pitfalls of using augmented reality– ‘AR’ — in cybersecurity
- Augmented reality (AR) can be applicable in various cybersecurity domains, especially for AR-based training simulations that can simulate cyber attacks.
- AR-enabled threat detection interfaces can also aid professionals in monitoring security protocols quickly and efficiently.
- The implementation of AR in cybersecurity infrastructure is expensive and must be considered, although the convergence of these technologies could enhance its impact.
- Privacy risks are a major area of concern associated with AR technology, especially as devices collect vast amounts of data, and hijacking overlays could lead to individuals being monitored without their knowledge.
- AR technology could become a funnel for live cyberattacks, and criminals could exploit it to create convincing deepfakes to deceive gullible victims.
- The immersive nature of AR can significantly improve cybersecurity training and make it more effective by providing hands-on, real-time experience and interactive simulations.
- AR can provide proactive threat detection with predictive capabilities for identifying potential attack vectors before they occur.
- The future of AR technology in cybersecurity looks promising as AR technology continues to evolve, but developers must address the security risks associated with it and mitigate them.
- The use of AR technology in cybersecurity can have both positive and negative consequences, and organizations must weigh their benefits and security risks associated with the technology before integrating them into their cybersecurity infrastructure.
- AR technology has the potential to redefine how organizations approach threat management, incident response, and training, offering professionals powerful tools to address dynamic cybersecurity challenges.
