Building Cyber Resilience in an Age of GenAI Threats

Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape—introducing powerful capabilities while at the same time, equipping attackers with tools to develop more effective attacks and execute them at scale. As organizations adopt these tools to enhance productivity, identify vulnerabilities, and automate repetitive tasks, attackers are doing the same—using GenAI to automate social engineering, launch prompt injection attacks, and manipulate large language models to cause potentially devastating breaches.

This guide, developed by Immersive’s Container 7, a collective of red teamers, threat researchers, and cyber drill architects, shares how organizations can build resilience in the face of fast-evolving GenAI threats. You’ll explore how to combine foundational security practices with hands-on exercise and continuous learning to strengthen your human defenses.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Recognize emerging GenAI threats—from AI-assisted phishing to LLM prompt injection
• Maintain strong cyber hygiene through patching, access control, and configuration management
• Exercise and upskill your teams with immersive Cyber Drills across all levels
• Build a continuous-learning culture that evolves with the threat landscape
• Embed secure-by-design practices and feedback loops into GenAI systems
• Use metrics, benchmarks, and after-action reviews to prove and improve readiness
