Hack The Box Launches AI Range to Help Organisations Strengthen Cyber Resilience

Hack The Box has introduced HTB AI Range, a new training environment built to help organisations understand how autonomous AI security agents perform when defending digital infrastructure. The platform is designed for safe, realistic experimentation, with human cybersecurity professionals supervising each scenario to ensure responsible and measurable results.

HTB says the rise of AI brings new vulnerabilities on top of those that already exist in traditional IT systems. The AI Range offers a controlled space where human and AI defenders can work together under real pressure, giving security teams a clearer picture of how these tools behave when facing live threats.

The environment simulates enterprise-level complexity with thousands of offensive and defensive targets. It aligns with well-known cybersecurity frameworks, including MITRE ATT&CK, NIST/NICE guidelines, and the OWASP Top 10. During a recent AI versus human capture the flag exercise, HTB reported that autonomous agents managed to solve 19 of 20 basic challenges. Human teams still outperformed AI in multi-step and more advanced scenarios, a sign that the technology continues to struggle with layered operations and fast-changing environments.

According to HTB, these results highlight the ongoing importance of human judgment, especially in complex or high-stakes situations. The company says the AI Range gives enterprises a chance to see how their current defences hold up under AI-driven attacks, train teams on emerging threats, and develop stronger tools that incorporate agentic AI safely.

HTB frames the platform as a long-term testing tool rather than a one-off audit. The company says continuous validation offers better security outcomes and aligns more closely with continuous threat exposure management practices. Early next year, HTB plans to launch an AI Red Teamer Certification to help quantify the skills needed to secure AI systems.

Leaders at Hack The Box say the AI Range represents a forward-looking approach to cybersecurity. Chief product officer Gerasimos Marketos said the platform allows humans and AI agents to learn to operate together under real pressure while keeping oversight at the center of the process. Founder and CEO Haris Pylarinos added that the goal is not to react to the rise of AI but to shape how defence evolves alongside it.
