LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR CYBERSECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE METAVERSE FORMATION

Анотація

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal challenges and regulatory gaps emerging in the field of cybersecurity amid the rapid development of the metaverse—a virtual environment that integrates digital reality, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and distributed data technologies. The study explores critical legal dilemmas related to user identification, personal data protection, digital property management, and the implementation of smart contracts. It is argued that traditional regulatory models based on territorial sovereignty and centralized control mechanisms are ineffective in dynamic digital ecosystems, where identity, transactions, and interactions acquire transboundary and multi-agent characteristics. The concept of cyber-jurisdiction in metaverse environments is proposed, incorporating parameters of decentralization, network sovereignty, and the protection of individual information rights. Based on a comparative analysis of approaches from the EU, the USA, South Korea, and Ukraine, the article formulates proposals for developing an adaptive legal model for cyber governance, including mechanisms for digital certification, confidential identification, and cyberethical behavioral norms in virtual space. The results of the study are of interest to scholars, legislators, cyber analysts, and metaverse developers from the perspective of regulatory unification and the establishment of digital civil rights.
