Immersive

What it is

Immersive is a UK and US company that was called Immersive Labs until February 2025, when it renamed itself and its platform, now Immersive One. The platform combines hands-on labs, team exercises, crisis simulations, and reporting so organizations can measure how ready their people are for real attacks. It is sold to businesses on quote-based subscriptions.

What it helps with

- Hands-on labs for offensive, defensive, application security, cloud, OT, and AI skills
- Cyber range exercises and dynamic threat ranges for technical teams
- Crisis simulations and workforce exercises for non-technical staff and leaders
- AI readiness work, including AI red teaming labs and an agentic SOC simulator
- Reporting mapped to frameworks such as NIST NICE, MITRE ATT&CK and MITRE ATLAS

Who it's for

Enterprise security teams, developers, and leaders who need to build and prove cyber skills across a whole organization.

Worth knowing

Pricing depends on the platform tier, user band size, and exercising credits, and is set through a sales quote. Businesses can request a free evaluation trial. Immersive also runs Cyber Million, a separate free program for people starting a defensive security career.

Is there a free version for individuals?
There is no free individual plan for Immersive One, though the Cyber Million program offers free entry-level training to anyone 16 or older.

How is it different from Hack The Box and TryHackMe?
In our view Hack The Box and TryHackMe suit individual learners and practice, while Immersive is built for enterprises that want team exercises and readiness reporting.

Where does GOAD fit in?
GOAD is a free lab you build yourself to practice Active Directory attacks, while Immersive hosts its labs for you as a managed service.
