Operationalizing Resilience: How New REST API and Microsoft Teams Integrations Activate Cyber Readiness Across Your Organization

Cyber resilience often remains theoretical because security strategy is disconnected from the actual capabilities of an organization’s people. When skills remain siloed and disconnected from daily operations, resilience stagnates and exposure grows. Meanwhile, security and HR managers spend more time on administrative tasks—manually syncing user cohorts or reconciling disparate data—than on the health of their defensive posture.

Immersive One’s Integrated Cyber Readiness solution addresses these challenges head-on. By embedding exercises, automated governance, and programmatic controls directly into your enterprise stack, you can ensure resilience becomes a measurable, core lever to activate your broader security strategy.

For your organization, this means the end of manual training silos. With the addition of programmatic User and Team Management via REST API and a new Microsoft Teams integration, you can now automate the heavy lifting of program administration and deliver readiness directly into the flow of work. This shift allows you to scale your defenses without increasing headcount, ensuring your workforce is always prepared, verified, and aligned with corporate standards.

REST API: Programmatic Governance at Scale

Managing a growing enterprise workforce shouldn't require manual data entry. By leveraging the Immersive One REST API, your organization can programmatically provision, organize, and synchronize users directly within your existing ecosystem.

• Zero-Touch Administration: Now you can avoid painful admin and eliminate the risk of human error. Automation ensures your personnel have immediate, role-based access to readiness resources.
• Dynamic Organizational Alignment: Mapping platform groups to your real-world organizational hierarchy can be automated too. This ensures your readiness data is always accurate and reflective of your current team structures, providing leadership with real-time visibility into the resilience of specific business units.

Microsoft Teams: Operationalizing Readiness in the Flow of Work

To be effective, cyber readiness cannot be a separate destination that employees have to remember to visit. It must be an integrated part of their daily workflow. By bringing Real-Time Contextual Notifications into Microsoft Teams, you turn readiness into a standard business process. 

• Eliminate Context Switching: Direct-access deep links and automated "nudges" within MS Teams remove the friction that typically kills participation.
• Actionable Resilience: When readiness exercises are surfaced in the hub where your teams already collaborate, you lower the barrier to participation. This keeps your defensive edge sharp without requiring your teams to leave their primary communication environment.

Eliminate Barriers to a Verifiable, Cyber Ready Workforce with Immersive One

Closing the gap between technical investment and real-world human performance requires deep operational integration. These latest enhancements are part of a broader ecosystem within the Immersive One platform, which is designed to unify your resilience strategy, no matter where teams sit. Currently, this solution supports:

• Engineering: Hardening AppSec governance by requiring verified secure coding in GitHub before code merges.
• HR & Leadership: Consolidating performance records in platforms like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Cornerstone for a unified, board-reportable view of workforce capability.
• Operations: Automating the lifecycle of readiness via the REST API and driving real-time engagement through Microsoft Teams.

With Immersive One, you can seamlessly shift from managing a list of completed modules to building a cyber-ready workforce.
