IBM vs Immersive

About Immersive

Immersive sells Immersive One, which tests how people, AI-enabled workflows, security teams, and agents perform under pressure. Immersive One turns AI-era cyber readiness into evidence. Immersive One shows where risk is changing and where capability must improve. The Immersive One Platform provides realistic simulations and hands-on cybersecurity labs to evaluate individual and team capabilities across the entire workforce. Immersive One Cyber Drills recreate real incidents across people, process, and technology. Immersive unifies labs, ranges, simulations, agent harnesses and reporting in a loop that runs continuously: Prove, Improve, Benchmark, Report. Access to Immersive One capabilities is determined by the customer’s agreed scope and deployment model.^[3][4][5]

Immersive supports creating, tailoring and routing practical learning experiences that build cyber and AI readiness. Immersive provides realistic scenarios for rehearsing technical, operational, workforce, supply-chain, and crisis response. Immersive validates safe AI adoption, AI-assisted development, AI red-team activity, and agent behavior before production use. Immersive turns activity, assessment, pathway, and exercise evidence into readiness insight for teams. Immersive uses live-fire environments to test people, workflows and agents against real adversary behavior. Every run is scored against the customer's peers, the customer's history, and a baseline of humans versus agents. Immersive generates evidence from the same system that ran the test.^[5][7]

A hands-on cybersecurity lab from Immersive is a browser-based environment where an individual completes a real security task against live systems and tooling. Immersive supports self-paced journeys for SOC, AppSec, CloudSec, AI, OT, OffSec, and wider workforce roles. The Immersive threat research team publishes hands-on content in response to emerging vulnerabilities and active campaigns. Immersive lets customers build and customize practical labs around proprietary code, emerging threats, and organization-specific security requirements. Immersive trains technical and non-technical teams to identify AI-specific risks and practice secure use and secure build workflows. Immersive lets customers test configurable AI analyst archetypes against realistic SIEM data and security workflows before allowing them to operate in production environments.^[6][7]

A cyber range is a virtual environment designed to simulate real-world cyber threats, allowing individuals and teams to practice cybersecurity skills, test defenses, and improve incident response. A Cyber Drill exercise is a simulated cyber attack that tests an organization's ability to detect, respond to, and recover from threats. Cyber Range Exercises and Dynamic Threat Range are typically run with technical and SOC teams, and Cyber Drills extend to business functions such as legal and comms. Offensive AI Ranges and Developer AI Ranges benchmark model performance against attack scenarios and MITRE ATT&CK/ATLAS coverage, and validate whether AI-assisted development introduces security risk.^[7]

Immersive exercises people through scenarios in which they interact with AI threat actors and dynamic social, chat, and video feeds. Immersive builds realistic crisis simulations around an organization using its systems, playbooks, risks, and threats. Business risk exercising is the practice of measuring and reducing the risk an organization's people introduce. Immersive uses practical exercising and capability validation to help expose supply chain risk.^[8]

Immersive offers a Resilience Score that quantifies an organization's ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats. Immersive's Resilience Score combines nine measured factors into a single value benchmarked against industry peers. Immersive measures workforce capability against the NIST NICE framework. Immersive maps defensive capabilities against real-world adversary tactics across the MITRE ATT&CK framework.^[3][6][9]

A Resilience Pathway from Immersive is a structured, role-based development journey that maps an individual's or team's current capability to the skills a role requires. Custom Goals let customers define organization-specific capability targets. AI Knowledge Pass validates a person's AI-related knowledge before they're granted access to AI tools.^[10]

Immersive AppSec brings together practical labs and dynamic range exercises that embed security into developer workflows. Developers use labs and interactive range exercises to demonstrate practical skills in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities. Immersive hands-on cyber labs simulate threats across offensive, defensive, and application security domains. Immersive offers content that helps workforces prepare for Operational Technology (OT)-related attacks. Immersive One includes Red and Blue Team labs, secure coding, cloud security, and more. Immersive delivers its hands-on cybersecurity training, team exercises, and cyber drills in a single Enterprise platform.^{[2][4][5][6][7][9][10][11][12][13]}
