Cybersecurity, from threat actors to the defensive strategies deployed against them, is undergoing a radical shift, forcing leaders to aggressively realign their strategy to meet escalating and evolving tactics. As we pivot from reflecting on the key challenges of 2025 to prioritizing our defensive posture for 2026, the need for proven capability over mere prevention has become an organizational imperative.

Cyber leaders will come away with: Key Lessons from 2025: Look back at the shift in adversary tactics, from the decrease in complex zero-day exploits toward supply chain compromises and chaotic threat actor behaviors, leading to the increase in pressure for ransom payments. The AI-Driven Development Risk: Take an uncompromising look at how the rush to deploy AI functionality is compromising security, while threat actors leverage AI for massive-scale noise generation and volume-based attacks. The Mandate for Proven Preparation: See the data-backed case for why security budgets must shift from focusing solely on prevention to practicing and proving response capabilities. Strategic Outlook for 2026: Learn about strategies for securing connected supply chains and complex infrastructure and understand the increasing demand for hyperspecific, tailored exercises.Mastercard & Immersive: Turn Cyber Threats into a Competitive Advantage

#Recorded on November 24th 2025 Cybersecurity confidence is soaring. According to a new industry-wide survey, 71% of organizations believe their readiness program is "very" or "extremely" mature, and nearly all feel they can effectively handle an incident. But what if that confidence is more fiction than truth? Our 2025 Cyber Workforce Benchmark Report, combining external survey findings with performance data from millions of real-world exercises, reveals a troubling disconnect. While organizations feel prepared, our data shows resilience scores and incident response times have flatlined year-over-year. This stagnation suggests there is a dangerous gap between perceived readiness and actual capability. Join Immersive Founder and Chief Innovation Officer, James Hadley, former Barclays CISO, Oliver Newbury, and Immersive Senior Director of Cyber Resilience, Dan Potter, as they unpack the critical findings from our 2025 report. They will provide a candid, data-driven diagnosis of why progress has stalled and offer a practical perspective on how to build a truly resilient workforce. You'll learn about: The Readiness Rut: Why practicing outdated threats and exercising in functional silos has stalled performance. The Tooling Trap: How a false sense of security from technology can mask poor accuracy rates in real-world scenarios. The Experience Gap: See why managers and non-technical users are engaging more with AI threats than seasoned technical experts. From Insight to Action: Get a CISO’s insight on how to build a truly measurable, people-centric defense that proves readiness.Labs Live: Reverse Engineering
