Greetings from the UK where the evenings are finally getting lighter, the daffodils are desperately trying to bloom and the sun finally seems to be making a regular appearance.

While spring may not have officially sprung yet, here at Immersive, change is in the air. Hopefully you have already noticed the launch of our new brand and the Immersive One platform. After many months of hard work across every team in every area of the business it really is a joy to announce this to the world and so I thought that I’d take this opportunity to share the promo video again (mostly because the soundtrack is an absolute banger!).

🏆 The Human Connection Challenge

With the official launch of the new brand I’m also excited to FINALLY reveal the designs of our 2025 challenge coins which will soon be winging their way to the winners of Episode 4 of the Human Connection Challenge:

🥇 First to Finish

You need to be quick to beat steven who regularly completes our challenge labs within hours of their release.

⏱️ Fastest to Complete

New member Aleandro_Sy  was the fastest community member to complete the lab in just 1 hour 45 minutes.

🎯 Most Accurate

Despite this being the hardest challenge yet, 22 people got 100% accuracy, including the following community members: audeyisaacscba IotS2024 Xat Markus CrouchS barney Al13nz autom8on isaias00 noobr steven 

💪 Most Persistent

This month, the most persistent award goes to MathewM 

Congratulations to all of our winners! 

Did you know that every member who completes a challenge lab gets a digital version of this coin? But you’ll need to register to claim it!

Challenge coins not your thing? Already got one? Don’t worry, we are working hard to make additional prizes and swag available in the not too distant future.

📰 Community Updates

There have been a few other changes here in the Human Connection as well. You may have noticed that we’ve added a weekly leaderboard to the Help & Support Forum and we’ve also added some new content tags to make it easier to find and follow the content that you are looking for. Take a look at the new Feature Focus blog series or our recent blogs on Cyber Threat Intelligence. You can even find previous versions of this newsletter here.

🙌 Special Shout Outs

Congratulations to netcat for being the first person to ascend to Silver member status and to steven for being the second! Between them they have a combined total of 95 Posts, 128 Likes and 13 Accepted Solutions! Some special swag will be on its way to you both as soon as it’s available!

I also want to take a moment to celebrate our very own TillyCorless who, after months of dedication, effort and hard work, is now a certified project management professional. Congratulations Tilly!

🔮 Looking Forward

Yesterday we kicked off a project to integrate our Knowledge Base with the Community. In a few short months you will be able to use the search bar at the top of this page as a one stop shop for all of your Immersive needs.

I'm personally looking forward to the next webinar in our Operational CTI series. In this interactive session, BenMcCarthy and benhopkins will walk us through the steps that they took to reverse engineer SmokeLoader to create their recent lab on CVE-2025-0411 (7-ZIP MoTW Bypass).

The event will be hosted live on Thursday March 6th, right here in the community and I’d love to see you there.

And don’t worry, Spring is coming!
