Hack The Box (HTB), a global provider of gamified cybersecurity readiness and upskilling solutions, has announced the launch of HTB’s Threat Range. This new team-based cyber incident simulation software aims to offer operational insights for executives and board members.
Designed with AI at its core, Threat Range expands HTB’s existing cyber ranges. It is intended to equip enterprises, government organizations, and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) with the skills, tools, and evidence necessary to validate and enhance their ability to withstand real-world cyberattacks. The platform includes an expanded catalog covering security operations, incident response, forensics, and threat hunting, aiming to advance organizational operational resilience. It is designed to deliver measurable outcomes in resilience and risk reduction, thereby increasing confidence in security investments for CISOs and boards.
Gerasimos Marketos, Chief Product Officer at Hack The Box, stated, “Defenders can no longer take the risk of preparing for tomorrow’s threats in yesterday’s simulated battlefield. Threat Range enables teams to counter modern cyber incidents faster and more efficiently. We have already seen adversaries using AI to perform attacks at 10 times the speed, reinforcing existing ransomware and social engineering tactics and their impact. Threat Range delivers measurable outcomes in resilience and risk reduction, giving CISOs and boards greater confidence in their security investments.”
HTB’s Threat Range aims to transform traditional cyber ranges into a fully integrated, live-fire simulation platform. It builds on HTB’s experience in enterprise security assessments, red teaming, and AI-driven scenarios to provide end-to-end breach training for security teams. The platform showcases the entire attack kill chain, challenging teams to investigate, collaborate, and report on complex threat activity at an enterprise scale. It also captures alerts and telemetry from cyberattacks, providing a platform where cyber defenders, including Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts and Incident Response (IR) specialists, can practice working as a team to detect, investigate, and respond to threats.
Haris Pylarinos, Founder & CEO of Hack The Box, commented, “Today’s threats are rapid, AI-enabled and launch multi-pronged attacks that pressure every part of an organization, demanding coordinated, high-stakes performance from cross-functional security teams. Scattered Spider’s recent hacking campaign required this level of preemptive preparation to catch it in the act. With Threat Range and our recent acquisition of LetsDefend, a hands-on SOC simulator and growing community base of 320K, we’re enabling SOC teams to train together with AI in the most realistic environments.”
Unlike offerings that provide guided or individual exercises, Threat Range focuses on team-based, role-specific advancement, incorporating insights from Capture The Flag (CTF) events and live-fire simulations. It facilitates SOC-to-DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) collaboration, offering enterprise-grade cyber simulations with instant readiness and continuously updated content. Organizations gain access to MITRE ATT&CK-mapped dashboards, outcome-driven analytics, and audit-ready reporting tools. These tools are designed to demonstrate improvements in mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR), positioning cybersecurity upskilling as a driver of operational resilience and business continuity.
HTB’s global platform is utilized by over 1,500 enterprises and supported by a practitioner community exceeding 4 million members. This scale is intended to ensure continuous intelligence sharing, weekly simulation updates, and a gamified growth path for cybersecurity professionals. With Threat Range, HTB aims to solidify its position as an enterprise partner for organizations seeking to validate resilience, mitigate breach risk, and develop cyber talent.
