Overview

Immersive launched the Cyber Drills Roadshow in April of 2024, a series of half-day, hands-on events that test participants’ knowledge, skills, and judgment against simulated cyber attacks. The roadshow offers everyone from techs to execs a tailored experience working with world-class crisis experts to learn and work on the best practices for building resilience against threats. So far, Immersive has completed roadshows in global cities, including Chicago, Seattle, London, New York, and more, with more on the horizon for 2025.

The company’s cyber drills offer dynamic crisis simulations that pressure-test leaders’ and cyber professionals’ decision-making to prepare for future attacks and identify areas that need improvement. This new approach to cyber resilience is sought out by some of the world’s largest organizations and governments, including Citi, Pfizer, Humana, HSBC, Milwaukee Tool, the UK Ministry of Defence, and the UK National Health Service. Over 20 Fortune 500 companies have been represented at Immersive Labs’s Cyber Drills roadshows in the US alone.

For background, The Cyber Drills Roadshow is designed to further Immersive’s Cyber Workforce Resilience platform, which offers coverage throughout the entire organization with comprehensive cyber skills development for all roles, enabling tech and security leaders within organizations to prove and improve organization-wide cyber resilience against emerging threats confidently.

This platform also offers dashboards and framework reporting that is centered on an overall Resilience Score, which uses statistical techniques to demonstrate that resilience can be assessed, benchmarked, improved, and proven in a data-driven way. The algorithm uses performance data from across the platform and enables organizations to understand their overall cyber resilience, trends, and progress. This score, accompanied by industry benchmark data, can be used as a board-level metric to demonstrate resilience, justify additional security spend, or support cyber insurance renewals.

How we are different

-Leaders can confidently prove and improve organization-wide cyber resilience: Immersive’s Cyber Drills Roadshow pioneers a practical, hands-on approach that invites people to come together and collaborate on ideas. As employees complete exercises, the solution gives CISOs and other cyber leaders a color-coded dashboard featuring percentages of risk by security topics, such as social engineering, physical security, and phishing across teams and individuals. It also delivers a detailed breakdown of risk by team and individuals, pinpointing where more upskilling is needed. It is designed in a way to engage employees and deliver realistic scenarios to continuously improve one’s cyber resilience.
-Addresses macro issues: The workforce shortage has been a priority and topic of conversation for the cybersecurity industry for years now, yet it seemingly continues to grow. Immersive is addressing the cyber workforce shortage by providing an innovative approach to cyber upskilling through live, in-person, realistic exercises and labs that give leaders tangible evidence of cyber capabilities compared to traditional training methods.
-Ever-evolving to keep pace with trends: With more than 2,500 exercises and labs, Immersive Labs continues to develop behavioral, data-driven solutions that offer comprehensive cyber skills development for all roles across the workforce. This, combined with bringing industry-leading breadth, depth and speed of new exercises to market, allows organizations to build and prove cyber resilience across all levels and roles. Unlike other solutions on the market, the Immersive Labs platform keeps pace with the speed of cyber, as the company’s world-class experts rapidly gather the latest threat intelligence to expand their labs. In fact, The seasoned Immersive Labs team, spanning malware forensic analysis to AppSec engineers, creates around 80 new labs per quarter, with existing labs also receiving updates as attacker tools, techniques, and procedures evolve.
