As we are in the midst of the digital transformation wave, many companies are embarking upon changing and digitizing their operation processes. With advanced technologies come new cyber-security threats where companies might not be aware of, without any approach or plan in place in case such threats and attacks happening. With that said many companies do have their cyber-security defense system but are ineffective in detecting threats and protecting organizations from advanced attacks. Even though some form of general cyber threats still exist and most businesses have already had a system in place to protect themselves from such common threats, new and more complicated threats are on the rise together with the introduction of new technologies, particularly mobile devices and IoT.

Immersive Labs is one such firm that continuously develops technology and content that helps businesses increase and evidence human capability in their cybersecurity. The firm contains hundreds of cyber skill experiences and content for red teams, penetration testers, and ethical hackers. And they are always adding more powered by the latest threat intelligence. Its hands-on labs and challenges can be instantly accessed from a browser. They are designed to move teams and individuals through a different phase process to power up your organization's human cyber readiness. The firm helps you fix cybersecurity problems by allowing organizations to test applicants against the specific skills required. This also eliminates subconscious hiring bias early on in the process.
