Case Study: Milwaukee Tool achieves 90% developer upskilling in AppSec with Immersive Labs

Milwaukee Tool Recognizes the Need for a Comprehensive Security Training Solution with Immersive Labs

Milwaukee Tool, a leading manufacturer of heavy‑duty power tools, needed a comprehensive, interactive security training program for its diverse development teams (native tool software, mobile apps, and Microsoft development). With Application Security a nascent function, the company sought a platform that offered hands‑on labs, custom course creation, and progress tracking — and turned to Immersive Labs’ AppSec training platform.

Immersive Labs provided a customizable lab library and AppSec environment that leaders used to build team‑specific collections and 15 career paths for 225 developers. The rollout achieved measurable impact: over 90% of developers completed the initial custom material, closing skill gaps, boosting engagement through flexible deployment options, and giving Milwaukee Tool clear insights into language‑specific capabilities — backed by fast, responsive support from Immersive Labs.
