Secure Your SDLC
at the Speed of Business

Ready to meet developers where they are and ignite a culture of secure coding? With a unified approach to application security training, you can. Immersive Application Security delivers the world’s first developer-centric solution, practical labs and revolution range exercises.

Application Security Needs a Rethink. Developers Must Be Ready.

As software becomes more integral to every business function, vulnerabilities in code represent a growing threat vector. Yet most AppSec efforts remain reactive—focused on compliance rather than capability. That’s no longer enough.

To reduce risk and build resilience across the SDLC, cyber leaders must enable developers to continuously prove and improve their secure coding skills. With hands-on labs and real-world exercises, Immersive AppSec helps embed security into workflows—turning AppSec from a blocker into a business enabler.

We help your teams Be Ready.

With Deep Technical Expertise and Industry Insight, Immersive AppSec Equips Development Teams to Confidently Deliver Secure Code Without Slowing Down Delivery.

Why Developer-Centric Security Matters in Application Development

Modern software development moves fast—and traditional AppSec can’t keep up. With pressure to ship code quickly, many organizations still rely on outdated, check-the-box training that does little to change outcomes. Developers remain underprepared, security remains siloed, and vulnerabilities go undetected until it’s too late.

Immersive AppSec closes that gap. By focusing on people, not just process, we equip engineering teams with the real-world skills they need to build secure software from day one.
The pace of modern development—and the complexity of today’s codebases—makes secure software delivery a human challenge. Developers need training that fits their workflow, not training that slows it down.
    • Pressure to deploy faster, with fewer resources
  • Siloed security and engineering teams
  • Legacy AppSec practices that focus on awareness, not outcomes
  • Difficulty measuring and proving capability
  • The rising cost of late-stage vulnerability fixes
Immersive AppSec brings together practical labs and dynamic range exercises that embed security into developer workflows. From onboarding to production, we help your teams build secure code, validate readiness, and continuously improve—proving value at every stage of the SDLC.

Building Application Security into Your SDLC

Empower your developers with practical, hands-on training to embed secure coding practices at every stage of your software development lifecycle.

From Patchwork to Proactive: Transforming AppSec

Fixing vulnerabilities at the end of the cycle isn’t enough. Secure coding must be embedded at every stage—and driven by those writing the code.

Most AppSec programs still rely on policies, awareness sessions, and late-stage testing. But that model fails when release speed increases and development complexity scales. Immersive AppSec changes the equation.

By empowering developers to prove and improve their security skills with hands-on labs and range exercises, organizations can build resilience directly into the SDLC—reducing rework, improving predictability, and delivering secure code at speed.

A New Era of Application Threats

Application-layer vulnerabilities are now a top vector for breaches—and fixing them late costs 100x more than fixing them early.

Developers are under pressure to ship faster, but siloed AppSec efforts often leave them unprepared. With 68% of breaches involving the human element and <75% of Java and .NET applications containing OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, organizations need a new approach.

Immersive Application Security equips developers to tackle threats head-on—building skills through labs and validating capability through real-world range exercises. It’s readiness, built into the flow of work.

questions about Financial Services

Why should we shift our Application Security approach from awareness training to developer readiness?

Traditional Application Security programs often prioritize compliance and general awareness over actual secure coding skills, leaving vulnerabilities unresolved until late in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This reactive model can significantly slow down development and lead to costly rework.

Immersive's Application Security offering transforms this by embedding secure coding practices directly into developers' everyday workflows through hands-on labs and realistic exercises. By building proactive security capabilities, organizations can reduce vulnerabilities, accelerate secure software delivery, and demonstrate measurable improvements in developer readiness.

Why is cybersecurity important for financial institutions?

Immersive's Application Security platform goes beyond traditional security training by continuously assessing and validating developers' secure coding abilities in realistic scenarios. Using immersive labs and interactive range exercises, developers demonstrate practical skills in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities. The platform captures detailed performance data, providing actionable insights into skills gaps, strengths, and team readiness. Organizations can leverage these insights to showcase tangible improvements, effectively communicate the ROI of their

Application Security initiatives to stakeholders, and reduce costs associated with fixing vulnerabilities late in the development process.

  1. High-Value Targets: Financial institutions hold valuable data and assets, making them prime targets for cybercriminals, which has led to billions of dollars in losses.
  2. Interconnected Systems: The interconnected nature of financial ecosystems and supply chains creates vulnerabilities that can impact the entire system.
  3. Legacy Technology: Outdated systems often lack modern security features, providing easy access points for attacks.
  4. Rapid Development: Pressure to release new code quickly can lead to overlooked security flaws.
  5. Customer Trust: Security breaches can severely damage customer confidence and erode trust.
  6. Regulatory Compliance: Financial institutions must comply with stringent regulatory requirements regarding data protection.
  7. Potential for Financial Loss: Cyber attacks have led to billions of dollars in losses for financial institutions.
