Real-time collaboration for cyber teams using a shared instance

We've made team collaboration effortless with a secure, web-based shared terminal on the HTB Enterprise Platform.

With sshx, managers can instantly share their terminal via a link on a multiplayer canvas, enabling live collaboration with remote cursors and integrated chat.

In just two commands, managers can create a shared workspace where real-time teamwork flourishes.

Want to guide cyber teams through a live exercise or solve a problem together? 

There is no need for a complicated setup. All it takes is to:

• Spawn your Pwnbox instance.

• Execute the installation command based on your device.

• Execute the link generation command by typing “sshx”. 

• Share the link with your team.

Now everyone’s in the same terminal, interacting with the same challenges, and learning from each other on the spot. No more back-and-forth screenshots or disconnected sessions – just live, hands-on teamwork.

Interactive technical onboarding 

Technical onboarding often leaves teams needing more real-time support and guidance to acquire new skills quickly.

Organizations with a strong onboarding process improve new hire retention by 82%, so there’s much to be said about getting it right.

Efficient onboarding leads to higher employee engagement, improved retention rates, less strain on senior staff, and a reduced risk of burnout.

In fact, our exclusive research on "Building a Firewall Against Cybersecurity Burnout", found that 59% of business leaders admit they don’t invest in new tools to help teams work more effectively. 

Using a shared terminal, there's a smarter approach for teams to work smarter – not harder – that fosters collaborative learning and real-time mentorship, ensuring new employees get the hands-on guidance they need from day one.

Sshx can streamline the technical onboarding of new employees and provide them with the support they need for their first time tackling real-world threats and incidents through selected simulated scenarios.

Imagine your organization just hired a new cybersecurity analyst, Alex. His manager sets up a Space in Dedicated Labs, selecting relevant scenarios from the 1,000+ available options. 

To make his onboarding interactive, the manager creates a shared terminal, guiding Alex through a simulated attack scenario in real-time.

Now, Alex is not just watching – he’s actively participating, practicing live responses to incidents. Whenever he needs help, his manager is right there in the same terminal, offering immediate feedback and support via chat.

This hands-on, collaborative approach closes the gap in technical onboarding, equipping new hires like Alex with the confidence to tackle real-world threats.

The result? Faster skill acquisition, higher employee retention, and reduced onboarding time.

Tackling complex scenarios together 

As a cybersecurity manager, ensuring your team can swiftly and effectively tackle vulnerabilities is essential for staying ahead of emerging threats.

The power of real-time collaboration is transformative. It brings red and blue teams together, breaking down silos and fostering a "purple mindset" that supercharges threat detection, sharpens risk mitigation, and ensures your incident response is always on point.

Working together in real-time enables faster insight-sharing, more efficient detection of security gaps, and a deeper understanding of attack vectors and defense mechanisms, strengthening overall resilience.

Imagine you’re a penetration testing manager, working on a complex Professional Lab within the HTB Enterprise Platform. The task? A challenging scenario that requires exploiting vulnerabilities across multiple layers of a system while understanding the defenses at play. 

Traditionally, your penetration tester and SOC analyst could only observe your session through a spectator link, with no ability to interact. This limitation made collaboration inefficient – your team would need to discuss strategies after the fact, leading to delays and missed opportunities to share key insights in the heat of the moment.

But now, instead of being passive spectators, your team members can directly engage with the live session, jumping into the same terminal and working in sync with you in real-time.

This hands-on, interactive method makes collaboration seamless and effective, allowing faster problem-solving, better knowledge sharing, and a truly collaborative penetration testing experience.

Fostering smarter, faster decision-making

In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to make swift, informed decisions can define an organization's security posture. 

Managers need real-time access to actionable information, making live collaboration essential.

With the HTB Enterprise Platform, cross-team visibility and instant communication during simulated attack-and-defense scenarios prepare teams to respond quickly to real-world security breaches. This reduces downtime and minimizes the risk of exploitation.

Imagine your team responding to a simulated breach. With a shared terminal, you get access to vital information, collaborate live, and make quick, informed decisions to mitigate damage and resolve issues when they arise.

The power of the HTB Enterprise Platform lies in fostering collaboration that drives faster, more accurate decisions. It empowers managers with the tools to lead confidently, ensuring their teams are always ready to act decisively in critical moments.
