Commanding the AI-Accelerated Threat Landscape: Introducing Secure With AI on Immersive One

In Star Trek, the Kobayashi Maru is a test of character through a no-win scenario. For many CISOs today, the current threat landscape feels exactly like that. Adversaries use AI to compress exploit timelines to sub-second scales, while internal teams remain tethered to manual training models that take weeks to update.

This readiness lag-time is a silent killer. If it takes a month to build a training lab for a new CVE, you haven’t just lost the lead; you’ve lost the fight before it started.

Thanos Karpousiz, Immersive’s Chief Technology Officer, often points out that defending the modern enterprise requires moving past static tools and siloed workflows. He recently noted that “integrating AI-powered capabilities directly into our native workflows means teams experience a proving ground that adapts as quickly as the threat itself. We’re giving customers what they need to validate the entire defense lifecycle with a speed and fidelity that was previously impossible.”

With Immersive, you can use AI to activate your workforce so you can command your defenses and outpace threats. Today, we’re introducing the Secure With AI solution on Immersive One. By natively integrating automated exercise creation and high-fidelity simulations via our  AI Lab Builder 2.0 and AI-Powered Crisis Simulator capabilities, plus real-time coaching from our AI Lab Assistant, we enable you to adopt AI safely and build the verifiable, cyber-ready workforce required to close the readiness gap.

Proving Cyber Resilience in the AI Era: Introducing the Secure With AI Solution on Immersive One

Secure With AI is a critical evolution of the Immersive One platform architecture. We’ve integrated AI directly into the engine of our labs and simulations to ensure you can prove your team’s performance against real-world threats and continuously improve your defensive posture at the speed of modern adversaries. This approach ensures your team is ready to gain command of the AI-accelerated threat landscape and achieve preemptive cyber readiness.

Currently, we activate those outcomes via three core platform capabilities:

Validating Resilience Through High-Fidelity Realism

Static exercises cannot prepare a team for the signal and noise of a live breach. Currently, our AI-Powered Crisis Simulator enables you to fully customize incident scenarios to test organizational decision-making across stakeholders and teams in minutes. In our upcoming release, we are making these simulations hyper-realistic by introducing dynamic crisis feed injects that mirror the volume of internal chats, news coverage, and emails. This ensures you gain the objective, auditable evidence that your teams can navigate the complexities of an authentic live event under pressure.

Ensuring Continuous Resilience Through Real-Time Exercise Creation

Every organization operates within a unique environment, with specific technology stacks, distinct upskilling requirements, and business risk nuances that must be exercised and validated. Manual bottlenecks are a luxury that modern security programs cannot afford when trying to meet these specific demands.

AI Lab Builder solves for these challenges, replacing the weeks-long manual lab build with an engine that generates high-fidelity exercises tailored to your environment in minutes. Leveraging Immersive One’s specialized blueprints and real-time threat intelligence, your experts leapfrog the administrative setup to deliver authentic, hands-on labs for new malware or CVEs while they are still active threats. Rather than retiring outdated content, your team can also instantly update existing exercises with new task layers to reflect the shifting landscape. This means your readiness library stays up to date with minimal effort.

Improving Outcomes Through Personalized Mastery

The AI In-Lab Assistant serves as a non-directive coach, providing guidance tailored to the specific context of a learner’s activity. Instead of spoon-feeding answers that lead to passive completion, the assistant encourages independent problem-solving. This approach protects your training program’s ROI by mitigating end-user frustration and fatigue that often stalls progress. It ensures your people internalize the logic required for real-world execution.

Command Your Outcomes with our AI-Powered Platform

Immersive One customers know just how committed we are to enabling them to answer the question: Are we ready for what’s coming tomorrow? In that context, we’ve developed our Secure With AI solution, providing the objective, auditable evidence boards and regulators require.

Leveraging Immersive One, you can realize critical, C-level and security outcomes, such as:

  • Governance Over Secure AI Adoption: It’s possible to transition theoretical AI policy into governed operations—with trained people and tested controls.
  • Eradication of Readiness Lag-Time: Now you can close your vulnerability window, shrinking the time between threat discovery and team exercising from weeks to minutes.
  • Verifiable Operational Command: Only Immersive One equips you to generate the objective performance metrics needed to satisfy board-level inquiries and meet regulatory mandates like the EU AI Act or DORA.
  • Strategic Force Multipliers: Retaining your subject matter experts is easier when they can focus on delivering a high-impact resilience strategy and workforce coaching, not admin.
  • Validated Decision-Making Under Pressure: Board meetings are smoother when you can prove that technical and leadership teams can make the right decisions amidst the noise and chaos of a live incident.

Solving for Real-World Complexity is Easier with Immersive as Your Partner

As we navigate the AI-accelerated threats alongside you, we know that AI adoption is only as strong as the trust behind it. We built Secure With AI capabilities backed by the same rigorous security controls and transparent safeguards that define the Immersive One platform, ensuring that as you activate your defenses, your operational security remains protected.

The truth is, no one has a perfect map for the AI era yet. But we do know that resilience is a muscle built through action, not just observation. Until you can prove your team can operate at the speed of the current threat, your readiness is just an optimistic assumption. 

Let's change the rules of the Kobayashi Maru together. With Immersive One’s Secure With AI solution, you aren't just taking the test; you are in command of your cyber resilience outcomes.
