Training Your Teams in Tools They Actually Use: Elastic Enterprise Enhancement Just Released

There’s a hidden risk in most cyber training environments that doesn't get talked about enough: the friction that occurs when your team uses enterprise-grade tools in production but only ever practices on basic versions in a training environment. When a real breach happens, analysts can’t waste time looking for a feature, searching for a button, or wondering why the UI looks different (and learning how to navigate it).

Leaders need to be confident that their analysts can actually use the full breadth of the stack they’ve invested in, ensuring their teams can go beyond simple log searches and execute high-fidelity, professional-grade defense. In the midst of a high-pressure breach, the tools should fade into the background while analyst strategy and capability take center stage.

Building on our commitment to realism, we've upgraded our Elastic infrastructure from Basic to Enterprise licensing across all labs and Dynamic Threat Range (DTR) exercises that use Elastic. More than just a backend patch, this is a complete removal of the license ceiling that's common in sandbox environments. Now, when your team uses Immersive, they’re stepping into a 1:1 mirror of a modern, professional-grade security operation.

For leaders, this enhancement means you can now measure how well your team performs using the exact premium features you’re already paying for as part of your stack. Here’s how: 

Mirror Production Workflows

Ensure your analysts are truly ready to use the premium Elastic capabilities your organization relies on. By unlocking Enterprise features such as advanced Case Management and Searchable Snapshots, analysts can now manage the full lifecycle of an incident using the same high-tier tools they use in their production tenant. This parity allows you to verify they can navigate the exact workflows required when the stakes are real.

Modernize Defense Workflows

This Immersive One enhancement fundamentally changes how your analysts interact with the platform. Whether it’s integrating AI-driven assistance into their investigations or leveraging advanced Machine Learning for anomaly detection, your team can now master the interplay between automated tools and human intuition. It ensures they become experts in the enterprise-grade ecosystem that reflects exactly how modern security operations function.

Eliminate Feature Friction

There's nothing more frustrating than a "Feature Not Available" pop-up when you're trying to follow a lead during an exercise. With those hurdles removed, your teams can now access advanced alerting, cross-cluster search, and a suite of premium visualizations. They can explore the full breadth of the Elastic Stack without artificial constraints, clearing the path for creative and thorough threat hunting.

Validate Your Team’s Proficiency with Immersive One

When your training environment mirrors your production environment 1:1, your performance data accurately predicts real-world readiness. By aligning Immersive One’s infrastructure with your actual tool stack, you can build and retain a verifiable cyber-ready workforce. You aren't just checking a box for training hours; you’re proving that your analysts have the muscle memory to navigate a professional enterprise environment with speed and precision.

Get Started

This enhancement is now available across the Immersive One platform with no configuration required.

• Existing Customers: To see how your team handles the full power of the Elastic ecosystem, assign the "Introduction to Elastic" collection to your analysts or launch a new DTR exercise to audit their ability to leverage the entire stack under pressure.
