Defending the Metaverse: Cybersecurity Strategies for the Next Generation Internet
暫譯: 捍衛 Metaverse：次世代網際網路的資安策略

本書適合多元讀者，包括學生、研究人員、學者、網路安全專業人士、IT 經理、Metaverse 開發人員、企業領導者、政策制定者及科技愛好者。本書適合所有人閱讀，從初學者到專家、研究人員及學生皆包括在內。本書提供適合不同知識程度讀者的洞見與工具，因此能讓廣泛的讀者輕鬆閱讀。透過探討網路安全與 Metaverse（元宇宙）這個快速發展的交會領域——一個雖然專門但日益重要的領域——本書補足了現有出版品的不足。

不同於著重目前網際網路與 IT 基礎架構的傳統網路安全書籍，本書獨特地將焦點放在 Metaverse 的虛擬環境。書中結合先進的技術洞見與實務策略，提供一份專門資源，串聯傳統網路安全文獻與 Metaverse 安全所面臨的未來需求。因此，對於希望在次世代網際網路平台的網路安全領域保持領先地位的讀者而言，本書是不可或缺的讀物。
