Immersive Named a Leader in the 2026 Forrester Wave™ for Cybersecurity Skills and Training Platforms

In the cybersecurity industry, "readiness" is often mistaken for completion. For too long, the industry has relied on check-box awareness training that leaves organizations vulnerable when the pressure is real. Today, I am incredibly proud to share that Forrester has named Immersive a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Cybersecurity Skills And Training Platforms, Q1 2026.

More than anything, this recognition is, for us, a validation of our core belief: that you cannot claim a capability you have not demonstrated. We believe it also reinforces a shift we’re seeing across the industry. Organizations are moving beyond training and toward hard proof of readiness. 

The Strategic Edge: A Bold Vision for Resilience

From day one, Immersive’s strategy has been anchored in a bold vision to transform cybersecurity training into measurable, organizational resilience, underpinned by our unrivaled breadth of content and capabilities across the cyber ecosystem. 

We are building more than just a training platform; we are building a resilience engine. Our approach is designed for organizations that recognize cyber risk as a business risk. By helping organizations prove, improve, benchmark, and report cyber resilience across their entire workforce, we help customers move from static theory to high-pressure, realistic simulations, equipping them with evidence that their entire organization, from the SOC to the C-suite, can perform when it matters most.

Our Pace of Innovation

In the evaluation, Forrester identified our innovation as a "standout". This is a direct result of our significant investment in R&D. We know that the threat actors and the tactics they deploy wait for no one, which is why we are dedicated to driving rapid content updates, developing sophisticated attack agents, and deepening integrations with the security tools our customers use every day.

Our roadmap is designed to be forward-looking, not just reactive. We are already introducing capabilities like the AI Program Builder and Dynamic Threat Range, enabling teams to practice incident response on their own enterprise tech stack, that redefine how security leaders architect their readiness programs.

Platform Strength: Data That Bridges the Gap

Forrester cited our reporting and dashboards as a standout, offering executive-level views, heatmaps, and benchmarking.

In a world where security budgets are under scrutiny, these metrics are vital. We help you move beyond reporting pure training completion rates to show the board real, measurable improvement in your organization's security posture.

Join Us in Redefining Readiness

While we are honored to be named a Leader, this milestone is a reflection of the partnership we share with our customers. Thank you for pushing us to innovate and for allowing us to support your mission. We look forward to continuing our work together, delivering the tools and support you need to stay ahead of the curve and grow with confidence.
