Addressing the Cybersecurity Skills Gap

With cyber attacks increasingly exploiting human vulnerabilities, organizations face significant financial and reputational risks. Immersive’s Lab Builder empowers cyber leaders to upskill technical teams through customized labs that mirror real-world scenarios. The feature supports the Prove, Improve, Benchmark, and Report (PIBR) approach, enabling rapid development of offensive, defensive, and secure-coding skills to counter evolving threats.

AI-Driven Customization for Rapid Upskilling

The Lab Builder includes an AI agent that leverages Immersive’s content library to generate tailored labs, such as up-to-date threat scenarios and application security exercises. This automation reduces manual effort, allowing organizations to quickly deploy high-quality, relevant training. “Our Immersive One platform has gotten even more powerful with our AI-enabled Lab Builder feature, which allows our customers and partners to quickly create tailored learning experiences as part of a holistic cyber readiness program,” said Thanos Karpouzis, Chief Technology Officer at Immersive.

Flexible Lab Types for Comprehensive Training

Lab Builder offers two key lab types to meet diverse organizational needs:

  • Theory Labs: Deliver interactive content to build foundational knowledge on cybersecurity policies and concepts, ideal for explaining core principles in a browser-based environment.

  • Practical Labs: Enable hands-on simulations using organization-specific tools and environments, validating skills and enhancing incident response capabilities.

These labs can be used independently or combined for multi-activity scenarios, providing a scalable, enterprise-grade solution for cyber skills development.

Key Benefits for Organizations and Partners

Lab Builder facilitates structured learning paths, policy-aligned content, and real-world simulations, ensuring compliance and measurable cyber readiness. It also empowers partners to offer bespoke training services, enhancing their value proposition. By integrating gamification and engagement techniques, the feature accelerates skills transfer and strengthens organizational resilience.

This launch builds on Immersive’s November 2024 AI Scenario Generator, reinforcing its commitment to innovative, evidence-based cybersecurity training. The Lab Builder is available immediately, equipping organizations to proactively combat threats through tailored, dynamic learning experiences.
