Application Security
More and more software is being built at pace. The quicker applications are made, the more vulnerable your software is likely to be – putting your organization at risk of attack. Mitigating threats isn’t easy and requires a culture of security across the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Immersive Labs measures and improves appsec teams’ security capabilities across the SDLC, with content experiences for everyone in the team.

Leverage data insights
Cybersecurity capabilities in appsec teams can be mapped to align with emerging threats and your organization’s wider risk strategy. You can measure and track the maturity of your organization’s DevSecOps over time.
Examples of our ever-growing languages and frameworks
Assess the security of your SDLC
Drop development teams into a range of cloud-hosted DevSecOps scenarios and simulations based on the latest threat intelligence.
- Explore role-specific practical labs across secure coding, tooling, and testing
- Enable development teams to get hands-on with emerging real-world application attacks
- Discover content experiences based on the languages and frameworks your team utilize daily

Cyber workforce optimization and application security
Immersive Labs is a cyber workforce optimization platform that ensures all areas of an organization can prove its cyber capabilities as they relate to risk and resilience. We believe humans are at the forefront of cybersecurity – your applications can only be as secure as the people who build them. By training your entire workforce in up-to-date best practices, you can ensure every element of the development lifecycle is in safe hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Application security specialists often have a creative mindset – the team includes front end developers, designers, and pen testers – that doesn’t suit the boring, point-and-click method of traditional training. It’s more interesting for upskilling to be hands on, realistic, and dynamic, which is one of Immersive Labs’ main visions.
The biggest defence in your appsec arsenal is the people. Although useful, vulnerability scanning tools often struggle to develop a culture of security or address the root cause of vulnerabilities appearing in applications. Immersive Labs aims to introduce a fully fledged knowledge of security best practices at every step of the development lifecycle, where all teams and roles know the relevant tools and techniques to both prevent and mitigate attacks.
As well as the fundamentals, the platform’s appsec content covers secure coding, testing, operations, and engineering, keeping developers up to date with the latest threats and tooling such as Apache, NGINX, and Burp Suite. You can also learn about security vulnerabilities in regards to specific languages and frameworks, with beginner to advanced labs on Python, Ruby, Java, Vue.js, Node.js, C#, C++, Go, Rails… you name it!
Labs are based in the cloud and load up in seconds, meaning you can practice your appsec development skills wherever you like.
