We empower organizations to increase, measure and demonstrate human capabilities in every part of their cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity experiences must be constant to be effective. Like gamers, security experts are curious, creative individuals with a penchant for problem solving; our industry never stops moving, and neither should your team’s skill levels.
Now more than ever organizations are facing a challenge to keep their employees motivated. Cybersecurity CTFs are the way to go: there are prizes, it's fun, and at the end of it you gain kudos for getting the token first.
But how do you turn a CTF event into a learning experience? How can organizations benefit from CTF events and ingrain them in their cybersecurity strategy?
Join Immersive Labs on 11th February at 3PM GMT (10AM ET) for our "Cybersecurity CTFs: The Power of Competition in Building Attack-ready Humans" webinar, and discover how you can tool up your team with a hacker mindset.

Cybersecurity CTFs: The power of competition in building attack-ready humans

In a world built on software, the fallout from Sunburst is an example of the importance of a secure SDLC. With a few more checks and balances, nation-state actors might not have been able to weaponize the SolarWinds application and bend it to their will and compromise everything from Government entities to tech companies.
  
Join our Director of Cyber Threat Research, Kev Breen, and Sean Wright, Lead Application Security SME, as they demonstrate a series of labs on this unprecedented threat to organizations.  By starting with foundational concepts and moving through to detailed hands-on simulations, you will learn firsthand the critical lessons underlined by the attack on Solarwinds. Using the gamified Immersive Labs platform, you will be guided through a five-part series, featuring: 

1) Compromising SolarWinds NMS – Theory: What is an NMS, why is it a target and how was it attacked? 
2) Who is Cozy Bear – Theory: Using MITRE, understand how the infamous UNC2452 threat actor operates 
3) Build Server Investigation – Practical: Our experts use our platform to simulate being a threat hunter and show how to review a build server and pipelines to identify malicious code injects 
4) IOC Investigation – Practical: We walk through the indicators of compromise to demonstrate how to review your NMS host and identify if it has been infected 
5) Malware Investigation – Practical: Kevin and Sean step into the shoes of a threat hunter, analyse the Sunburst malware to understand further IoCs, and discern what suspicious network activity looks like

You can access these practical hands-on experiences for yourself from Immersive Labs Community here: https://community.immersivelabs.online/browse/category/cyber-threat-intelligence/sunburst-supply-chain-compromise

Should you ever pay the ransom? What if it were a matter of life and death?

In the peak of a brutal winter and a global pandemic, power distribution company EXCEL gets hit by not one, but two Netwalker ransomware attacks, causing power-outs across the country. It’s up to you to prioritise tasks, appoint leaders, push out comms, and of course decide whether to pay the malicious hackers. Most importantly, will you be able to prevent fatalities?

In our final Cyber Crisis Simulator webinar of 2020, you’ll work with Chris, Paul and Kev from Immersive Labs to get EXCEL’s systems back up and running again as quickly – and efficiently – as possible. Using Immersive Labs’ Cyber Crisis Simulator and technical labs, you’ll be a part of the life or death decision-making process that will determine whether this year’s holiday season is dark and cold or merry and bright.

Outcomes:

- See the impact of the human element in incident management and response
- Gain a greater understanding of how decisions in a breach scenario have a business-wide impact
- Experience Netwalker via one of our technical labs

Out in the Cold: The Cyber Nightmare Before Christmas

The tightrope between security and usability is nothing new, but recent events have propelled it to the fore. When the corporate world was forced out of offices and into kitchens, studies and bedrooms, businesses had to peer under every rug for the remote working policies and plans they should have made. Now, as the second wave of *you know what* begins, it’s clear that balancing remote working and cybersecurity is a perennial issue – and it’s here to stay. 

In Immersive Labs’ latest crisis simulation, your organization faces an imminent switch to 100% remote working – and it’s up to you to make it happen. As Head of IT for a wealth management firm, you have to balance the cybersecurity needs of the business with operations and efficiency, while preparing a workforce that has never worked remotely to make the switch. Join Chris Pace, Tech Advocate, and Paul Bentham, Chief Product Officer, as they navigate the balancing act that businesses around the world are now facing. 

For many, lockdown was a trial by fire – and it’s *still* not over. While the world is tentatively opening its doors again, governments are ready to slam them shut at any moment. Short term fixes must now face the test of time as offices fall quiet once more. 

In this webinar, we turn those short-term band-aids into long-term solutions. When your IT estate is scattered across kitchen tables and sofas, how do you keep it safe and secure? When team members can’t see IT about a dodgy email, how do you encourage best-in-class security practices? When your workforce has never worked remotely, how do you balance productivity with security? 

As the scenario unfolds, you’ll get your say on how the team should prepare. You’ll see the impact of your decisions on factors like operational effectiveness, security and comms quality. You’ll emerge with an understanding of: 

- The challenges facing businesses and security teams
- The risks in getting the balance wrong
- The importance of communication

Threats at the Kitchen Table: Balancing Security & Usability In Remote Workforce

People often assume that application security, or AppSec, focuses solely on the security involved in the development of an app or service. 
Wrong! Sure, this is a vital part of it, but there are several other areas that are just as important as the code used in development:

-Design
-Operations
-Testing
-Deployment
-Maintenance 

AppSec ultimately covers the security of an app from inception to deployment, use and maintenance; it’s a process spanning the application’s lifetime and you must be there every step of the way.
Join our webinar on 25th November at 3pm GMT to find out what Immersive Labs has to offer for Development and Engineering teams in your organization.

Hear from Chief Cyber Officer, Max Vetter, Lead Application Security SME, Sean Wright, and Senior Content Engineer, Taylor Mowat, as he shows us around the new lab formats for Application Security.

You’ll emerge with an understanding of:

-The challenges of building secure applications
-The risks in getting the balance between productivity and security wrong
-How Immersive Labs is bridging the gap between cyber and engineering teams
-What is on our roadmap for AppSec
