Immersive Labs sign with Kite as UK distributor

Immersive Labs and Kite have joined forces to help organisations become more resilient; not only the IT department or CISO’s, but the organisation as a whole.

Kite are a UK focused, value-added distributor that specialises in bringing innovative and disruptive technologies to the UK channel. Their management team have over 50 years of accumulated channel experience, including launching and building markets for some of the most readily recognisable security & networking brands around today.

Immersive Labs began as a bright idea – a platform that would instil readiness, resilience and confidence in human cyber capabilities. Immersive Labs enables you to evidence your cyber capability, risk, and resilience across technical teams for the first time.

We interviewed Dale Wilson, Product Manager at Kite and Kate Baker, Channel Manager EMEA at Immersive Labs to understand more about this partnership and explain why they have joined together.

Q & A

Q1.) Why have you chosen to partner with Immersive Labs?

Dale Wilson: Immersive Labs are a perfect addition to the Kite portfolio, offering a fresh approach to security and complementing our traditional security solutions. Predicting how IT systems respond in certain circumstances is quite simple, but human responses are much less predictable. Immersive Labs offers Cyber Workforce Optimisation to evidence your cyber capabilities, risk and resilience across technical and non-technical teams in one platform.

Q2.) Why did you choose to partner with Kite?

Kate Baker: Having partnered with Kite Distribution in the past, I was confident in their ability to drive mutual success for our businesses. Kite Distribution works closely with their partners and offers all aspects of support, including technical, marketing, and sales. Together, Kite Distribution and Immersive Labs will drive industry awareness for the need for human cyber resilience.

Q3.) Why is it a good time to become an Immersive Labs Cyber partner?

Kate Baker: The constantly evolving nature of the cybersecurity industry places a greater emphasis on the cyber resilience of the workforce. Cyber resilience is not something an organisation can achieve solely by stacking technical countermeasures. It’s time organisations focused on their people by building a truly cyber resilient workforce with a solution that can meet the cyberattacks of today.

For the first time ever, human knowledge, skills and judgement are becoming powerful security controls, thanks to Immersive Labs – a single platform that enables organisations to continually measure and refine these controls in a way that keeps constant pace with threats.

Q4.) What are the current challenges and opportunities you are seeing in the market?

Kate Baker: Having visibility of human cyber capability across the workforce has been a struggle for many organisations. Data is often hard to collect and dates quickly with the speed of emerging threats.

Immersive Labs helps organisations exercise their technical teams on the latest threats and evidence their growing cyber resilience. This gives organisations the opportunity to build resilience at a foundational level and prove their depth of skill across the workforce – all in one platform.

Utilising Immersive Labs allows leadership to:

1. Build resilience at a foundational level by embedding and continuously enhancing human cyber capabilities across the workforce
2. Power an entirely new strategic cyber risk reduction capability with real time data insights, as well as generating board level reporting
3. Reinforce cross-organisational cyber crisis response to decrease the impact of today’s all-encompassing cyber attacks
