Cyber Teams
“How proactive is your security strategy?”
This seems to be the new hot question, with an emphasis on the keyword: proactivity.
The answer from many CISOs and executives to the above question isn’t exactly encouraging. 40% Loading Preview...
Basically, it all comes down to the time the cyber workforce takes to understand the threats they face, and how to deal with them. This requires:
Visibility. Insight on relevant threats that are emerging.
Prioritization. Knowledge of which threats to prioritize based on your unique attack surface.
Remediation. The skills and ability to identify and mitigate high-priority security risks.
HTB Enterprise Platform enables cyber teams to prepare for emerging risks and vulnerabilities that malicious actors exploit to compromise systems, data, or networks, while developing tactical response strategies to address them.
Let’s think about it: cybersecurity incidents have become so common that when we experience service outage or downtime, many of us directly assume a cyber attack was behind it.
Oh, [insert business name] got hacked.
Security professionals are facing an increased feeling of uncertainty generated by attacks conducted with emerging technologies, which are making it difficult—now more than ever— to separate reality from fiction. An additional layer of complexity is now added by the growing trend in supply chain risks Loading Preview...

Jump into features realistic scenarios simulating procedures and protocols for large-scale incidents affecting critical infrastructure such as telecom networks, power grids, and federal services.
With our experience in providing security programs for more than 1,500 teams around the globe, we have identified the following challenges as the main obstacles for organizations to implement effective proactive security strategies:
New threats are constantly emerging. We are now experiencing an average of 1,900 critical Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) per month, with a 13% increase over 2023 Loading Preview...
Timely detection and response are critical, but organizations may face delays in identifying and responding to emerging threats, increasing the risk of successful attacks. Currently, the remediation to an attack amounts to six days—against the four-day SEC rule Loading Preview...
New technologies, like AI and Machine Learning, are integral to modern cybersecurity. 2024 will likely see a rise in AI-based predictive social engineering and a disturbing convergence of AI and social manipulation techniques from attackers.
Meanwhile, defensive teams will use AI Loading Preview...

Based on this fundamental need from the industry to stay abreast of new tech, HTB Enterprise Platform offers a unique approach mapped to different technologies, environments, Operating Systems, and even use cases to ensure that no matter the technical infrastructure or tech stack, your cyber team keeps up with the latest CVEs & TTPs tailored to your unique attack surface.
CVE stands for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. Each CVE represents a unique identifier for a specific vulnerability or exposure, along with additional metadata such as a description, references, and solutions if available.
CVEs are used to track and manage vulnerabilities across different software and systems, allowing organizations to understand and mitigate potential security risks.
TTP stands for Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures. TTPs are used to describe the behaviors, strategies and methods used by an attacker to develop and execute cyberattacks on enterprise networks.
These two are the nemesis for every cyber analyst.
Understanding CVEs and TTPs in the shortest possible time can make a direct influence in the organizational business goals. Informed cyber professionals can proactively assess risk and drive effective decision-making by managers and executives.
Yes, sometimes it’s a race against time.
On HTB Enterprise Platform, cyber teams can practice newly discovered vulnerabilities or understand in depth TTPs before others with relevant hands-on scenarios simulating the specific attack vectors the adversary can potentially conduct to the infrastructure.
Let’s take the example of Looney Tunables Loading Preview... Loading Preview...
Within 10 days of the disclosure, a Machine replicating the vulnerability from the adversarial point of view was already available on HTB Enterprise Platform. The following week (October 20th) a defensive lab simulating the same attack path was released, providing HTB customers a complete view of the newly discovered CVE.
Cyber teams training with HTB had the chance to fully understand this critical vulnerability (and set proactive measures) before Homeland Security’s Cyber Defense Agency, even released the advisory to patch on November 21st, 2023.
HTB business customers can access a unique, and ever-expanding, pool of labs supporting them to make proactive security decisions:
These labs, exclusive to business customers, are designed to mimic high-risk vulnerabilities and active threats exploited in the wild. Sometimes, they can be laser-focused on business logic vulnerabilities (e.g., misconfiguration in payment gateways, e-commerce exploitation, and more).

Let’s take the example of MonikerLink vulnerability Loading Preview...
Moniker allows you to gain practical experience in exploiting the CVE, understand the insecure use of MkParseDisplayName() API, and learn how to handle links triggering the vulnerability.
Moniker-D prepares for attacks directed to valuable NTLM hashes to fortify the organization’s defenses and investigate security breaches to identify the attack path for an optimal vulnerability assessment.
The entire security team has the opportunity to work on the same attack scenario, getting to know in detail the risk and quantify the potential infrastructure damage based on the adversary’s behavior.
HTB Academy course materials are mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK and NIST/NICE framework, making it easy for technical leaders to define a workforce development plan Loading Preview...
With job-role paths and certifications, cybersecurity staff have the opportunity to go through a threat-connected evaluation and become high-performing professionals ready to deliver all daily essential tasks.
We've covered how HTB aligns your defensive & offensive security operations to emerging CVEs & TTPs. But what about new, cutting-edge tech that's not even on the radar for most defensive teams?
HTB Enterprise Platform builds threat-ready professionals by focusing on realism and providing a constantly updated supply of courses or labs covering the latest emerging technologies..
Only over the last couple of months, we provided technical leaders with:
A collection of hands-on labs focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Covering common attacks on AI/ML systems, insecure implementations, compromization of sensitive information, and more.
A new cutting-edge lab environment Loading Preview...

Learning and understanding CVEs in a safe environment is crucial for the cyber workforce to quantify risk, identify the mitigation steps, and finally translate technical findings into business outcomes Loading Preview...
Understand your operational infrastructure.
Understand what the adversary uses in terms of TTPs.
Attempt to understand the collection requirements of the adversary.
Decrease your mean-time-to-detect (MTTD), mean-time-to-resolve (MTTR), and mean-time-to-contain (MTTC).
This is how HTB Enterprise Platform enables organizations to foster a dynamic Purple team approach and foster collaborative security practices, implementing predictive concepts within defensive or threat hunting operations.
Today’s cyber threats present a new challenge to organizations, and unskilled teams pose a real risk to the security of your business. This is why cybersecurity performance programs and continuous improvement are no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity.
