Cyberstudents
offered access to
Immersive Labs’
learning platform
yberstudents who missed out on
their first choices of university
have been given free access
to Immersive Labs’ industry leading
cyberskills development platform.
C
Backed by Goldman Sachs and
developed by an ex GCHQ trainer, the
technology will give students access to
a purpose-built set of ‘labs’ which drop
the user into entry-level cybersecurity
challenges designed to set them on a
path to working in cybersecurity.
The initiative is a reflection of the
company’s belief that legacy ways of
training cyber talent are obsolete against
an ever-changing threat landscape.
Immersive Labs’ Founder and CEO,
James Hadley, said: “The world is
crying out for cybersecurity talent, yet
the majority of ways we are trying to
train these people are broken. While
university can be a valuable path for
some, its rigid conditions can also be
exclusive. Not everyone wants to sit
in a classroom learning passively. My
experience at GCHQ taught me the best
cybertalent is creative and curious; they
learn by breaking things and thinking on
their feet.
“Unfortunately, this jars with traditional
teaching methods, which I fear is leading
to an unnecessary talent drain. We have
opened up our platform to give these
individuals an opportunity to learn.”

application access and identity

“We came to OneLogin to replace
our outdated legacy product and
needed a solution that could deploy
our mission-critical applications
in less than 24 hours, while also
providing the utmost level of security
and ease-of-use,” said Dawn
Armstrong, IT Director at Virgin
Hyperloop One. “The nature of our
business demands that we make security
a mission-critical priority. OneLogin’s
leading platform was the obvious solution
to secure and manage all of our in-house
enterprise applications.”
Virgin Hyperloop One, which has a
project underway in the UAE, required
OneLogin Adaptive Authentication for
executives and senior engineers who
travel internationally.
The solution was tailored with an extra
layer of security with risk scoring, a
feature that mitigates the potential
for stolen credentials to be used for
unauthorised access, while providing
a seamless experience for users and
giving confidence to the IT department at
every login event.
