Enhancing Cybersecurity Through Proper Training
Hack The Box specializes in cybersecurity upskilling, certification and talent assessment. It aims to provide cybersecurity professionals with the proper training to enhance their offensive and defensive security capabilities through gamified exercises, hands-on challenges and interactive learning materials. It leverages its two-million-strong community to develop various cybersecurity issues or hacking scenarios that can help in the upskilling process. Furthermore, Hack The Box helps customers achieve Continuing Professional Education, or CPE, credits and other necessary certifications.
HTB’s cybersecurity training platform utilizes an intuitive dashboard that enables administrators to monitor progress and workforce readiness. It also employs a Read, Act and Test methodology similar to the Observe, Orient, Decide, Act, or OODA, Loop.
