Immersive Named a Leader in Cybersecurity Skills and Training Platforms reported by Independent Research Firm

The report recognizes Immersive for bold vision and standout innovation.

BOSTON & BRISTOL, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Immersive, the leader in AI-powered cyber resilience, today announced it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Cybersecurity Skills and Training Platforms, Q1 2026. The report evaluates vendors on current offering and strategy in helping organizations develop and measure cybersecurity capability.

Beyond positioning Immersive as a Leader, the evaluation noted that Immersive offers a unified platform approach for hands-on cyber-readiness training and simulations that integrates skills measurement, benchmarking, and progress tracking to help organizations identify readiness gaps and monitor improvement over time.

Immersive achieved the highest score in the Strategy category in the evaluation and received the highest possible score in five of the six strategy criteria: Vision, Innovation, Roadmap, Partner ecosystem, and Community.

Forrester described Immersive’s approach as anchored in a bold vision to transform cybersecurity training into measurable organizational resilience, supported by standout innovation, a well-defined roadmap, and a mature partner ecosystem.

“Cyber resilience cannot be measured by compliance alone. Organizations need evidence that their people, teams, and leaders can perform under pressure,” said Mark Schmitz, CEO of Immersive. “We believe this recognition from Forrester reinforces our strategy with Immersive One to help customers prove, improve, benchmark, and report readiness at enterprise scale.”

As threats evolve and AI reshapes how security teams operate, organizations face growing pressure to ensure their workforce can perform under real-world conditions. Through Immersive One, its unified cyber resilience platform, Immersive helps organizations prove readiness through realistic exercises, improve skills through hands-on labs, benchmark performance over time, and report measurable outcomes to leadership. Forrester also noted the breadth and timeliness of Immersive’s content, rapid research-driven updates, and executive dashboards and benchmarking tools as platform strengths.
