Immersive Launches the Market’s First Hands-On Exercises for Google Security Operations

Accelerate Your Return on Security Investment with Live, Hands-on Exercising for Security Teams On-Demand 

The enterprise shift to the cloud is accelerating. In the second quarter of 2025 alone, worldwide spending on cloud infrastructure hit nearly $99 billion, with Google Cloud capturing a record 13% market share. As leading organizations adopt the powerful Google Security Operations (Google SecOps) ecosystem to unify their security operations, a critical readiness gap has emerged. 

Users lack opportunities for practical, hands-on experience to truly master critical skills. Security teams know that theory isn't enough. Vendor videos and documentation can’t build the muscle memory needed to respond confidently during a real incident. With security teams already reporting that 46% of their time is eaten up maintaining tools, (Splunk State of Security 2025), there’s little margin for learning curves. Without realistic practice, teams struggle to configure complex components, validate workflows, and build the confidence to respond effectively in a real incident. 

The demand for immersive, in-console training has never been higher—and it’s essential for organizations seeking faster ROI and stronger security outcomes.

Introducing Hands-On Labs for Google SecOps

To address this challenge head-on and close that readiness gap, we’ve released the market’s first live, on-demand training labs for Google SecOps, now available on the Immersive One platform. 

Every security leader I meet wants to turn their investment in tools into real skills, says Aniket Menon, Chief Product Officer at Immersive. “Our new Google SecOps capability makes that vision a reality, because we’re removing barriers to mastery and empowering customers to build the individual expertise they need, directly within the tools they already own."

Our approach eliminates the friction of traditional training: security teams get instant, ready-to-use access to a fully configured Google SecOps instance. This enables analysts and detection engineers to practice, test, and build job-ready skills in a hyper-realistic setting, using the tool they already use, with no additional setup, licenses, or accounts required.

Master Real-World Workflows Instantly

Our Google SecOps collection is designed to mirror the challenges your team faces, enabling them to gain hands-on proficiency with the platform's most critical components.

A Market-First for Practical, Hyper-Realistic Cyber Readiness

This is the only hands-on training experience available for Google SecOps today. Instead of watching videos or reading documentation, your team will work directly within the Google SecOps console, investigating threats and using the platform’s tools as they would during a live incident.

On-Demand Infrastructure, Ready in Minutes

Customers get instant access through a browser with a fully working environment ready in under two minutes. Our platform automatically creates and deploys all necessary infrastructure and workloads on the fly, eliminating the need for users to set up or configure anything—there’s no need to bring your own license because Immersive One provides full access, including individual user accounts. This seamless experience allows analysts to focus entirely on honing their skills.

Hyper-Realistic Incident Response Scenarios

Our labs are designed with a real-world starting state, including pre-configured infrastructure and ingested logs, to simulate authentic incident response scenarios. This isn't a sterile training environment; it's a dynamic simulation that challenges your team to navigate the complexities of a genuine investigation.

See Tangible Outcomes

By embedding hands-on practice into a continuous cyber readiness program designed to prove and improve skills, you can translate your investment in Google SecOps into measurable improvements in your cybersecurity posture.

• Improve Cyber Readiness Instantly: Your team can immediately gain proficiency in Google SecOps, reducing the learning curve from months to weeks and ensuring they are prepared for the next incident.
  
  
• Demystify Complex Components: Hands-on labs provide clear, practical introductions that help analysts master complex yet powerful elements, such as Unified Data Model (UDM), YARA-L for detection engineering, and SOAR Playbooks for automated response.
  
  
• Validate Real-World Workflows: Since our hands-on labs reflect the full detection and response lifecycle, analysts train on the exact processes they will use on the job, building confidence and ensuring operational consistency.

A Game-Changing Benefit for Immersive One Customers

Cyber readiness fails when people, processes, and tools exist in silos. Your team might know a specific tool, but have they practiced your specific incident response plan within it?

The Immersive One platform was built to break down these silos. Users have access to an environment where teams can use their exact tools to execute real-world processes. 

Our new hands-on exercises for Google SecOps makes good on that promise. Your team doesn’t just learn the console; they practice real-world workflows, building the muscle memory needed for an actual incident. It’s how you stop guessing if your team is ready, and start proving it.
