 stream, dedicated to the UK’s fast-growth cyber startups and scaleups, with the goal of increasing our presence worldwide and continuing to build new, innovative products and services, connect with a targeted community who can help us explore and understand various products and concepts. We also believe that expanding partnerships between relevant communities will increase exponentially the access to cybersecurity training, creating a better and safer cyber world. 

“Hack The Box was incorporated in 2017 in the UK with the vision to make cybersecurity accessible to all by transforming cybersecurity training into a fun, gamified and intuitive activity.  For that, in 2019 we have been awarded the most innovative cybersecurity startup in the UK and we entered the LORCA 3rd cohort. Today, We can legitimately claim that we are living up to our vision, having more than 800k registered members from every corner of this world. Throughout this journey, Plexal has always been a great partner and enabler to this success. We are therefore honoured and excited to be part of Cyber Runway’s Scale programme, which will support us in the scale-up journey that we just began! We are very much looking forward to it.”
- Haris Pylarinos aka ch4p, Founder & CEO @ Hack The Box

The purpose of Cyber Runway totally matches what our community has been trying to achieve since its foundation: address some of the biggest challenges facing cybersecurity, such as diversity and inclusion and regional representation, and support the most promising innovators at various stages of growth.

Along with all the other startups and scaleups that just have joined the Cyber Runway, we share the intention to educate on relevant cybersecurity trends as ransomware, cyber fraud, AI, and cloud security. The recent release of "BlackSky", the first HTB cloud hacking lab
