Hack The Box (HTB), has announced the launch of HTB’s Threat Range, a team-based cyber incident simulation software that offers operational insights for executives and board members.
With AI at its core, the company says this new environment extends HTB’s industry-leading cyber ranges to equip enterprises, government organisations and MSSPs with the necessary skills, tools and evidence they need to validate and improve their ability to withstand real-world cyber attacks. With an expanded catalogue covering security operations, incident response, forensics, and threat hunting, Threat Range sets a new benchmark for advancing organisations’ operational resilience.
“Defenders can no longer take the risk of preparing for tomorrow’s threats in yesterday’s simulated battlefield,” said Gerasimos Marketos, Chief Product Officer at Hack The Box. “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.”
One customer – Dan Astor, director at Security Risk Advisor – noted:
“Unlike traditional Capture the Flag (CTF) exercises that emphasise individual task completion, Threat Range requires genuine team coordination to achieve objectives. It is a valuable middle ground between tabletop exercises and live incident response, offering more realism than TTXs while maintaining a controlled training environment.
“Threat Range addresses a significant gap in SOC training by providing a platform for simulating live incidents outside production environments. The gamified approach fosters collaboration and team cohesion, creating an environment where team members work toward common goals while developing their skills collectively. This is a meaningful advancement in practical security operations training.”
HTB’s Threat Range transforms traditional cyber ranges into a fully integrated, live-fire simulation platform, building on HTB’s expertise in enterprise security assessments, red teaming, and AI-driven scenarios to deliver realistic, end-to-end breach training for security teams. Showcasing the entire attack kill chain, Threat Range challenges teams to investigate, collaborate, and report on complex threat activity at enterprise scale. It also captures alerts and telemetry from cyber attacks and provides a platform where cyber defenders, including Security Operations Centre (SOC) analysts and Incident Response (IR) specialists, can practice working as a team to detect, investigate, and respond to threats.
“Today’s threats are rapid, AI-enabled, and launch multi-pronged attacks that pressure every part of an organisation, demanding coordinated, high-stakes performance from cross-functional security teams. Scattered Spider’s recent hacking campaign required this level of pre-emptive preparation to catch it in the act,” said Haris Pylarinos, Founder & CEO of Hack The Box. “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.”
