December 2023 by Marc Jacob
Immersive Labs announced it has been named a Leader in the Forrester Wave™: Cybersecurity Skills and Training Platforms, Q4 2023. Forrester evaluated nine providers in the category and gave the company the highest marks possible in 13 criteria, spanning Breadth of Training, Skills Assessment and Verification, Reporting and Dashboards, and Security Framework Mapping and Alignment.
In the Forrester Wave: Cybersecurity Skills and Training Platforms, Q4 report, Principal Analyst Jess Burn writes: “Immersive Labs drives cyber resilience and readiness throughout the organisation. Immersive Labs understands the mounting pressure security leaders and their programs face and believes responsibility for resilience must expand to the entire organisation – and resilience must be provable.”
The report also notes that Immersive Labs “delivers breadth, depth, and realism in its training and exercise content. It offers an engaging, gamified learner experience. Dashboards and framework reporting are centered on an overall resilience score. The score, and accompanying industry benchmark data, can be used as a board-level metric to demonstrate resilience or justify additional security spend and as proactive input to cyber insurance renewals.”
