Introducing AI-Powered Lab Builder on Immersive One: Tailor Cyber Skills Training for Your Unique Needs

Behind every major cyberattack is a simple truth: human error often opens the door to disaster. Standard cybersecurity training often fails to prepare teams for an organization's unique threats, specific tools, and distinct operational policies. This gap hinders true cyber readiness. To build effective cyber resilience, training must directly reflect an organization's real-world environment and address its specific security challenges at the speed of cyber.

That’s where our new AI-powered Lab Builder feature on the Immersive One platform comes in. Built into Immersive One as a core feature, Immersive customers now have access to the tool. They can readily improve cyber capabilities across their workforce by creating hands-on labs tailored to their unique threats, business priorities, policies, and environments. Later this quarter, Lab Builder will also include an AI agent, equipping customers to automatically generate tailored labs, from up-to-date threat labs to application security scenarios and beyond.

Teams don’t just learn—they gain hyper-relevant skills plus the confidence to take on threats, reducing risk while accelerating cyber readiness. Here’s a closer look at what makes Lab Builder stand out for customers and partners—and the key benefits it brings to leaders looking to level up their teams’ cyber skills.

Introducing Lab Builder: Your Solution for Hyper-Relevant Cyber Training

Lab Builder is a powerful and continually evolving feature within the Immersive One platform—built for our customers and partners to rapidly create, manage, and publish custom cybersecurity labs with ease.

It supports two core lab types:

• Theory labs establish foundational knowledge around cybersecurity policies, concepts, and key topics. These browser-based labs explain the “why” and “what” behind cyber practices and can be tailored to align directly with your internal standards—streamlining compliance efforts and audit readiness.
  
• Practical labs deliver hands-on, real-world simulations. Created by in-house experts and leveraging your own environments (such as AWS AMIs), these labs give learners the chance to apply skills in context—boosting knowledge retention and validating competency in the tools and systems they actually use.

With Lab Builder, organizations can turn internal expertise into engaging, interactive training. An intuitive drag-and-drop interface and editor capabilities make it easy to build labs that are both effective and impactful—no advanced technical skills required.

Tailored Training, Tangible Impact: Key Lab Builder Use Cases

Lab Builder enables organizations to create custom cybersecurity training that directly addresses their unique challenges. Rather than completely relying on out-of-the-box content, in-house experts can now take the controls as ‘Lab Creators’ to build targeted labs designed to solve unique problems. Plus, centralized lab delivery within the Immersive One platform streamlines upskilling and outcome measurement. 

Let’s consider some ways Lab Builder can drive outcomes for your organization.

Reinforcing Your Security Culture: Tailoring Policy and Awareness Training

Many organizations struggle to ensure that every employee consistently follows internal security policies. Decentralized, static training materials often fall short, failing to prove true understanding of your unique policies or drive real compliance. This gap not only weakens security culture but also raises audit risks.

That’s where Lab Builder theory labs make a difference. Rather than relying on simple policy acknowledgments, organizations can develop interactive, scenario-based training tailored specifically to their internal processes—from data handling to incident response. The feature’s intuitive editor allows rapid creation of rich, customized content with embedded videos and code snippets, for example. Users can take advantage of Immersive engagement techniques, like gamification, encouraging active learning that makes upskilling stick.

The result? Measurable compliance that goes beyond checkboxes, reducing audit risk and strengthening regulatory posture.

Accelerating Skill Mastery: Hands-on Training in Your Unique Environment

At Immersive, we know that real-world, contextual experience is essential for building muscle memory. Detection and response are easier when teams can apply theoretical knowledge to their unique codebase, proprietary tools, or threat landscapes.

That’s where Lab Builder’s practical labs come in, equipping your organization to build labs using your own historical vulnerable code snippets, proprietary applications, or even specific malware samples. Learners can safely interact with such authentic scenarios in ephemeral safe environments, which can be started in minutes, using the exact tools and systems they’d encounter in production. This approach sharpens malware analysis skills, targets unique vulnerabilities, and powers custom Capture The Flag (CTF) events tailored by your team to close specific skill gaps.

Unifying DevSecOps: Bridging Policy and Practice to Embed Security

Organizations navigating DevSecOps transformation often struggle to translate security policies into everyday practice, creating friction that slows secure development and stalls the growth of a security-first culture. 

Lab Builder’s flexibility means leaders can close this gap. It enables organizations to effortlessly integrate theory and practical Labs—bringing together internal policies, assessments, and customized technical training. Such a hands-on learning experience helps accelerate your DevSecOps adoption, reinforces consistent policy compliance, and prepares your teams to confidently thwart evolving threats.
‍

The Lab Builder Advantage: Agility That’s Supercharged by AI

When it comes to creation prowess, generative AI can play a critical role. That’s why Lab Builder will become even more powerful when our AI agent is released later this quarter. Bringing unmatched AI-enabled agility and fresh creativity, custom content creation will be even easier for Lab Creators. Currently, Creators can spin up hyper-relevant labs in minutes—transforming real challenges into interactive learning experiences tailored exactly to your environment. 

With the highly anticipated release of the Lab Builder AI agent, Lab Creators gain a co-author to design labs with unmatched precision—automatically. Leveraging Immersive’s extensive library of existing content and authoring capabilities, the Lab Builder agent will rapidly generate high-quality, highly tailored labs for organizations—further reducing the time and effort required to build them independently.

At the same time, Lab Builder provides a safe environment to upskill cyber teams, leaning on the platform’s gamification and on-demand approach, allowing 24/7 access to labs that can be deployed in minutes. This balance of flexibility and security makes Lab Builder more than a training tool; it’s a strategic asset that continuously strengthens your human cyber capabilities, empowering your teams to drive measurable improvements in readiness and resilience.
