Cyber Workforce Benchmark 2022
18 months. 2,100 organizations. 500,000 cyber exercises. What did we discover about the world’s cyber workforce capabilities? Dive into the data with us to find out.
Continually test, measure and improve human cyber capabilities—with a single platform
Cyber resilience is about being able to continuously deliver business outcomes in the face of ever-changing risk. Now organizations are able to demonstrate true confidence in their cyber resilience. With Cyber Workforce Optimization (CWO), companies can continually test, measure and optimize cyber knowledge, skills and judgment all with one powerful platform.

Agile cycle for developing cyber workforce capabilities
Whether you’re meeting the regulator next week or conducting a board review in five minutes’ time, CWO generates real-time evidence to prove efficacy in dealing with cyber threats, compliance and strategic security risks. Powered by these data-driven insights, we enable an agile cycle developing cyber capabilities across the organization.
Exercise
Benchmark current knowledge, skills and judgment through realistic, role-specific, cyber simulations across the entire workforce, with minimal impact on resources.
Do you have something to prove?
When organizations are expected to prove key cybersecurity dependencies, CWO evidences resilience and confidence in decision-making.
Cross-organization resilience
Organization-wide cyber crisis exercises, purpose-built, recreate your specific environments and allow you to battle-test resilience as real emerging threats impact your business.
Effective security operations
Practical cloud-based simulations mirroring the most recent critical security threats, allow teams to evidence their ability to conduct both offensive and defensive cyber operations mapped to industry frameworks.
Incident & crisis ready leadership
Using the Immersive Labs Cyber Crisis Simulator, executives and defined crisis roles can evidence decision-making against emerging industry threats—taking into account rationale, confidence and judgment to provide metrics on crisis response and demonstrating improvement over the time.
Application security
Developers evidence their ability to build securely - as well as identify and remediate vulnerabilities in real development environments. This can be tied to the results of code deployments to show how continuous skills development leads to better muscle memory when building applications.
Secure infrastructure
Organizations can continuously evidence their cloud engineering capabilities to identify and remediate typical vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations.
Governance, risk and compliance (2022)
For the first time, organizations can identify potential shortfalls in GRC programmes and adapt to continuously improve their overall posture.
Supply chain assurance (2022)
Using the Immersive Supply Chain Exercising module, organizations can evidence supply chain security efficacy, including how incidents would be communicated and how decisions made in a crisis affect the organization and its response, all tied back to the policies and processes.
The immersive labs cyber crisis simulator allowed us to simultaneously facilitate a realistic ransomware exercise across central banks and financial institutions in six african nations, in support of the commonwealth cyber declaration programme.
