Introduction to Content
Security Policy (CSP)
API Security Collections

What will developers actually do in order to learn?

See first-hand how attackers exploit vulnerabilities and the impact they pose
Fix vulnerabilities in a way that retains the application’s functionality
Experiment by modifying code or configurations, observing the impact on exploit attempts, and impact on application functionality

How is this different from other cyber security developer training?

At Immersive Labs, we understand that the best way to learn is through doing. A good developer learns from their mistakes, but a great developer also learns from the mistakes of others. In order to learn, we provide teams with a wide range of common security errors in code and configurations to identify and fix. By offering hands-on AppSec experiences, your teams’ knowledge, skills, and judgment on secure coding, secure operations and secure testing will improve. Here are some things you won’t do:

‍

Complete endless multiple-choice questions which are tedious and ineffective learning methods
Be spoon-fed answers. Our content is created to develop and enhance your understanding and skills – challenging you is a part of that!
Ultimately, this creates a far more skilled, confident, and productive team, that can prove their competency and resilience

What are the benefits of this solution?

Developers are able to quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities, increasing productivity
Hire and upskill junior developers and DevSecOps professionals to reduce hiring costs
Save money by identifying vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC
Address compliance mandates related to secure coding
