Immersive Labs helps organizations be ready for cyber attacks through realistic cybersecurity exercising, drills, and training. The company’s tailored approach, featuring continuous assessment, real-time simulation, and hands-on exercises, ensures that cyber capabilities are not only developed but continuously refined to meet evolving threats. The company’s labs and training simulations will be integrated into the curriculum of CyberTrust Massachusetts academic and training institutions to drive hands-on learning and ensure that today’s learners are tomorrow’s skilled and ready workforce.

“This partnership with Immersive Labs directly contributes to our mission of increasing the cybersecurity posture of the Commonwealth’s municipalities and nonprofits, alongside small businesses, and more,” said Peter Sherlock, President and CEO, CyberTrust Massachusetts. “Through our partnership with Immersive Labs, we are delivering unparalleled cyber range training environments that set a new standard for cybersecurity education and preparedness.”

How the Partnership Works and Key Benefits
Employers and community members can take advantage of this partnership by attending training across four established cyber range training centers in Massachusetts, including the Richard E Neal Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Springfield, Bridgewater State University, MassBay Community College, and Salem State University. Each location is responsible for building training programs (powered by Immersive Labs) that will offer students, existing professionals, and municipal audiences the chance to upskill on the latest technical threats, foster soft skills, and familiarize themselves with Incident Response (IR) plans and technical-to-executive escalation procedures.

High school students interested in exploring cybersecurity as a future career will also benefit from this added resource. The four locations will host a variety of content designed to offer a clear roadmap into the field of cybersecurity and its varied career pathways.
