Immersive Debuts AI-Driven Lab Builder to Advance Cyber Skills Across the Workforce

Share

Immersive, a leader in people-centric cybersecurity, has unveiled an AI-powered Lab Builder feature for its Immersive One platform, designed to help cyber leaders deliver tailored, real-time training experiences that address specific organizational needs. This new capability supports Immersive’s “Prove, Improve, Benchmark, and Report” (PIBR) approach by enabling the creation of customized offensive, defensive, and secure coding simulations—boosting cyber resilience through practical, role-relevant training.

With human error linked to the majority of cyber incidents—costing organizations an average of $4.88 million annually—upskilling the technical workforce is a growing imperative. Despite this, many leaders spend less than 40% of their time improving cyber capabilities. Lab Builder addresses this shortfall with AI-generated, hands-on labs that simulate real-world threats, drastically reducing the time required to build tailored exercises.

“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. “We’re seeing growing demand for practical, hands-on cybersecurity labs and exercises that mirror real-world scenarios and environments. Leaders gain unmatched agility with hyper-relevant training for their unique use-cases, improving their organization’s overall cyber resilience.”

The feature introduces two key lab types: Theory Labs, which reinforce foundational cybersecurity concepts in a browser-based environment; and Practical Labs, which offer hands-on simulations built around an organization’s own systems and tools. Together, they form a flexible, gamified training model that enables organizations to measure and improve individual and team readiness.

For Immersive’s partners, Lab Builder creates new opportunities to offer bespoke training and simulations aligned with their services, enhancing differentiation and customer value. The feature supports structured learning paths, policy-aligned content, and clear metrics for demonstrating audit-readiness and cyber maturity.

Lab Builder builds on Immersive’s growing suite of AI innovations, including the AI Scenario Generator introduced in late 2024. The new feature is now available on the Immersive One platform, which unifies labs, drills, and simulations into a continuous, evidence-driven approach to developing cyber resilience.
