Security leaders are currently under sustained pressure to justify spend rather than just describe risk. Security leaders and executive teams are increasingly asked a straightforward but difficult question: What exactly do we get for the investment?

To answer this, Immersive commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impactâ„¢ (TEI) study. The results revealed a 327% ROI and a payback period of less than six months for a composite organization. But these numbers are only half the story.

Join Immersive CEO Mark Schmitz, Forrester Consultant Richard Cavallaro, and Michael Vetri, Senior Director of Security Operations at Veeva, as they unpack the independent framework used to evaluate the potential financial impact of cyber resilience. This session moves beyond "training hours completed" to explore how demonstrable skills drive reclaimed productivity, improved retention, and a defensible business case for the boardroom.

What you'll learn:

  • The ROI Framework: See how Forrester modeled the financial impact of Immersive One, including the risk-adjusted assumptions behind the 327% ROI.
  • Real-World Application: Learn how Veeva measures hands-on readiness to improve organizational security posture.
  • Defensible Value Drivers: Translate cyber drills and labs into business metrics like avoided external hiring costs and reclaimed developer hours.
  • The "Board-Ready" Narrative: Get practical advice for CISOs on using the TEI model to remove uncertainty during budget scrutiny and executive discussions.
