Hack The Box Launches AI Cyber Range for Enterprise Readiness

Leader in AI-powered cybersecurity readiness, Hack The Box (HTB), recently announced the debut of the HTB AI Range, a controlled AI cyber range built to test and benchmark the safety, limits, and capabilities of autonomous AI security agents.

New range replicates attacks and tests agents and humans to bolster security defenses

The HTB AI Range replicates live, high-stakes cyber battlegrounds, tailored for enterprise readiness. The Range evaluates AI agents and human operators side-by-side, with every model and every human tested, refined, and retested until mastery is measurable.

“AI is now part of the cyber battle and overall ecosystem, and we’re building the arena where it can safely be tested and used to defend responsibly,” said Haris Pylarinos, CEO and Founder of HTB. “For over two years, we’ve been advancing AI-driven learning paths, labs, and research where machines and humans compete, collaborate, and co-evolve. With HTB AI Range, we’re not reacting to AI’s rise in cyber; we’re defining how defense evolves alongside it. This is how cybersecurity advances: not through fear, but through mastery.”

HTB AI Range is the “world’s first live-fire” training ground, defining the evolution in how organizations prepare for hybrid defense, where humans and machines must operate together.

“Hack The Box is where AI agents and humans learn to operate under real pressure together,” said Gerasimos Marketos, Chief Product Officer at HTB. “We’re addressing the urgent need to continuously validate AI systems in realistic operational contexts where stakes are high and human oversight remains vital. HTB AI Range makes that possible. It’s the next step in building trust, safety, and performance into AI for cyber defense.”

HTB AI Range mirrors the complexity of enterprise operations and features thousands of continuously updated offensive and defensive targets. The Range is purpose-built for enterprises, MSSPs, and governments seeking to stress-test AI models, validate safety, and benchmark hybrid human-machine performance against frameworks, including MITRE ATT&CK, NIST/NICE, and OWASP Top 10.

HTB AI Red Teamer Certification coming in Q1 of 2026

Additionally, HTB has announced its AI Red Teamer Certification that will be available in Q1 2026.

The AI Red Teamer Certification identifies the AI Red Teamer job role path, developed in collaboration with Google, making HTB the first and exclusive upskilling provider aligned with Google’s Secure AI Framework (SAIF).

This program equips security professionals to assess, exploit, and secure AI systems end-to-end, setting a new global benchmark for AI security expertise.

This certification comes on the heels of a recent 10-day AI red teaming CTF run by HTB and HackerOne, where only 43 percent of registrants completed a single challenge – marking a significant skills gap in AI knowledge and security. To bridge this gap, HTB joined forces with Google to create the AI Red Teamer Path, a job-role learning journey designed to equip cybersecurity professionals with the skills to evaluate, test, and harden AI systems.

HTB recently released new reports that found MSSPs are strong in detection but vulnerable in prevention. Learn more about the findings in these three new sector-specific cyber skills reports.
