Highlights of significant progress and updates on the HTB Enterprise Platform

Dedicated Labs Spaces, a structured approach to organizing team members and scenarios within the HTB Enterprise Platform.
-
NIST | NICE content categorization, aligning training with industry standards.
-
80+ new offensive & defensive hands-on scenarios, covering a wide range of cybersecurity domains.

World-class cyber workforce development
Being recognized as a leader and high performer in our category shows our commitment to delivering cutting-edge learning environments that enhance proactive security strategies against emerging threats.
But being proactive alone isn’t enough—teams need focused skill development and personalized training. With Dedicated Lab Spaces, managers can better prepare teams to counter targeted attacks by creating custom workspaces tailored to develop specific skills.
Leveraging HTB’s extensive library of over 1,000 hands-on scenarios, Spaces offer the ideal environment for building expertise in real-world offensive and defensive cybersecurity techniques.
To further prepare teams, managers can incorporate Real Case Sherlocks into their training, simulating real-world breach scenarios developed in collaboration with top Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs).
These scenarios enable teams to practice genuine incident responses, using the exact tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by real attackers, ensuring they are ready to handle actual threats.
Streamlined learning and curriculum management
Our high "Ease of Use" review scores reflect our focus on maintaining an intuitive HTB Enterprise Platform. This user-friendly experience ensures teams can dive right into skill-building without distractions.
With enhanced content categorization and advanced threat-aligned search functionality, managers can quickly find the most relevant scenarios for their teams. This helps tailor learning plans to real-world threats and organizational goals, allowing managers to efficiently address skill gaps.
To evaluate the success of those learning plans, HTB Enterprise Platform provides robust reporting and benchmarking features. Managers can track progress, assess skills development, and measure team performance against industry standards.
The recent integration of the NIST | NICE framework allows managers to compare their teams’ progress in terms of the key Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Tasks (KSATs) essential for cybersecurity roles.
