In this episode of Redefining Cybersecurity on ITSPmagazine Podcast Network, host Sean Martin is joined by Dr. Stacy Thayer and Dr. Darius Hines-Cross to explore how virtual and augmented reality can be used in cybersecurity to improve business operations. Throughout the conversation, the group discusses the possibilities and ethical implications of using these technologies. They speculate on how virtual and augmented reality can be used to improve cybersecurity operations, such as training and simulations.

The experts explore the wide range of implications and opportunities that virtual and augmented reality offer in various industries, including the healthcare industry to help draw some analogies to other business operations. In another example, virtual reality can allow individuals to experience alternate worlds and places that may not be physically accessible.
