A global study conducted by post-quantum security pioneers Naoris Protocol, reveals that the average cost of a data breach could climb to $5.3 million within five years, up from the current $4.88 million.

Almost all Web3 developers surveyed (95%) believe data breach costs will continue to rise, with 18% predicting these costs could exceed $5.5 million by the end of the decade. The overwhelming majority (97%) also see the metaverse, AI, and machine learning as accelerants for more frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks.

The Metaverse and AI: A Double-Edged Sword

As the metaverse evolves into a more integrated part of the digital economy and AI capabilities grow exponentially, new threats and vulnerabilities emerge. Over 41% of surveyed developers strongly agree that these technologies will drive a significant increase in cyberattacks.

David Carvalho, CEO & Founder of Naoris Protocol, notes: “The fusion of the metaverse and AI is creating a larger attack surface for hackers, while quantum computing threatens to undermine traditional encryption methods. The risks are real, and the cost implications are staggering.”

DePIN: Transforming Security Through Decentralization

Web3 developers are rallying behind Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) as a solution to the growing cybersecurity challenges. DePIN decentralizes critical infrastructure, such as network nodes, data centers, and cloud systems, reducing reliance on centralized entities and enhancing overall resilience.

This approach mirrors the transformative impact of railroads in the 19th century, which reshaped economies by revolutionizing connectivity.

“DePIN reduces single points of failure and empowers communities to take control of infrastructure, fostering both security and economic incentives,” Carvalho adds.

Preparing for a Quantum-Driven Cybersecurity Landscape

The rise of quantum computing further underscores the urgency of adopting decentralized security frameworks. Quantum computers are expected to break traditional encryption techniques, putting sensitive data at unprecedented risk.

According to Naoris Protocol’s research, 95% of developers are concerned about quantum computing’s implications, with 36% expressing significant concern. However, 87% believe DePIN technology can play a pivotal role in addressing these threats over the next decade.

A Clarion Call for Action

The findings make it clear: businesses must prioritize decentralized solutions to counteract rising cyber risks. With the integration of AI, the metaverse, and quantum computing, the cybersecurity landscape is evolving at a breakneck pace. Organizations that fail to adapt risk falling victim to ever-increasing breaches and losses.
