Purpose-built resilience pathways: Introducing custom goals

Welcome back to Prove It, a series spotlighting the latest AI-forward capabilities, integrations, and platform innovations helping organizations build and demonstrate cyber resilience in the AI era. Each edition highlights what's new in Immersive One, why it matters, and how it helps leaders move from assumptions to evidence as AI transforms the way people work, defend, and lead their organization.

“Templates provide an incredible foundation. But AI enterprises also need flexibility and agency to drive business-specific outcomes.”

Nathan Alder, Senior Customer Marketing Manager: When Immersive One introduced outcome-aligned guided goals, the focus was helping customers immediately connect common business priorities to role-based cyber readiness programs. But we know a lot of organizations are dealing with requirements that don't fit that mold. One size won’t always work for everyone.

Alyona, Sr. Product Manager: That’s right. Guided goals work well when your desired outcome is something common, like enterprise-wide AI literacy or secure development practices. But plenty of organizations are running proprietary technology, internal tools, or challenges specific enough that no pre-built goal is going to be a direct fit. 

Nathan: AI-enabled threats bring additional nuance and pressure, too, particularly for customers in high-stakes industries. You need an expert in the building who understands the business problem and how to translate it into an Immersive One learning path.

Alyona: Yes, time is of the essence for organizations across different industries. Building readiness programs the old way, starting from zero, manually mapping exercises to a goal that’s ill-defined, and hoping it holds up against known unknowns is a high-stakes game. Not every organization has that person, and even the ones that do can't scale programs that way.

Nathan: Doesn’t AI Program Builder address the two-headed dragon: scale and speed?

Alyona: It does, and with this week’s release of custom goals, the two come together. Custom Goals gives organizations a way to define a goal around their own needs and dependencies, not a preset one. Pair that with AI Program Builder and you describe what you need in plain language, iterate to get it right, and get back a fully sequenced cyber resilience program in minutes. 

Better yet, if provisioning AI tools securely is part of your end-game, AI Knowledge Pass can be leveraged at the final step. You end up with a cyber resilience program that's entirely yours and ready to assign in minutes.

Nathan: That has real implications for any large or decentralized organization, Alyona. 

Alyona: Absolutely. Whether you're a SOC manager, a Head of L&D, an AppSec lead, or running AI Governance, you can shape a goal around exactly what your team is dealing with, an internal tool, a regional requirement, a scenario specific to your function, and build it out just as fast as anything else on the platform. 

Nathan: Meanwhile, leadership sees proof of readiness roll up through just one platform. Every team is empowered to build around their needs.

Build Bespoke Resilience Pathways with Custom Goals

With Immersive One's latest release, any manager can:

• Tailor programs to specific use-cases. Build Custom Goals to upskill teams around proprietary technology, an industry-specific threat, or a team-specific capability gap. 
• Expedite elite program creation. Describe the specific challenge to AI Program Builder in plain language, iterate, and get back a fully sequenced program built from expert-designed exercises in minutes. 
• Make readiness a gate, not just a record. Combine Custom Goals with AI Knowledge Pass, so completion of your bespoke program can trigger access to the AI tool it was designed to support. 
• Build with what’s yours: Bring internal labs, crisis sims or assessments into the same program as Immersive One's library, so the result reflects how your organization actually operates. 
• Extend readiness organization-wide: Give team leads the ability to shape goals and build bespoke programs around the outcomes or tools specific to them. 

What's Next

Custom Goals gives every organization a way to prove readiness on its own terms, no matter how specific the challenge or how far it sits from a standard template. Paired with AI Program Builder, any leader can turn a business-specific objective into a fully sequenced, expert-quality program in minutes, and paired with AI Knowledge Pass, that same program can govern access to the tools it was built to prepare people for.

With this milestone release, the next step is to make readiness itself even easier to manage at scale. Custom branching will let a single program flex automatically across teams, swapping in the right coding language or tool without building separate versions from scratch. Reporting through Data Explorer will bring goal and program data into one place, and deeper identity provider integrations will connect readiness directly into the rest of your security ecosystem.
