CyberKnight has signed a partnership with Immersive Labs to support the cybersecurity skills improvement in the Middle East region. The Immersive Labs is the world’s first fully interactive, on-demand, and gamified cyber skills platform.
With Immersive Labs, regional cyber defense teams can be empowered to prepare for cyber-attacks using crisis simulations and hands-on challenge-based experiences. Blue Teams can defend against advanced malicious threats before they occur. With over 800 labs and courses, Immersive Labs keeps cyber security teams in touch with the latest tools and attack techniques.
“To guarantee an organization’s human readiness against the evolving cyber threats, continuous challenges, scenarios, and crisis simulations are required. Through CyberKnight, we aim to help enterprises in the Middle East mitigate cyber risk, while equipping themselves with real-world techniques and knowledge of threats. CISOs now have a platform for cyber skills development that will measure, assess, and fortify the education of their cyber talent”, said Jake Alosco, Director – Global Channels, at Immersive Labs.
“Traditional classroom-based cyber-skills training methods don’t work. Therefore, it is crucial to engage cybersecurity teams by gamifying trainings. From a business perspective, knowing the types of skills your team has, or more importantly, does not have, is invaluable. Thus, to address these gaps, we are delighted to join forces with Immersive Labs which covers everything from spelling the word ‘cyber’ to technical tools, threat hunting, and reverse engineering malware.”, commented Olesya Pavlova, VP Marketing at CyberKnight.
