Our take
Cybersecurity attacks have ballooned in number recently, shining a spotlight on the urgent need for tighter, sharper cybersecurity measures. Hack the Box’s response has been to create what they call a ‘massive cyberhacking playground’. It’s a cybersecurity skill platform where B2C users can explore gameified cyber training and penetration testing exercises, engage with the infosec community, and explore careers vacancies. B2B customers can access the same training, with additional administrative features.
All in all, it’s a comprehensive offering that allows Hack the Box to sit at the intersection of two lucrative and growing markets. On the one hand, an increase in people carrying out career pivots towards the tech sector, and pursuing online training opportunities. On the other, an increased business focus on (and investment in) improving cybersecurity postures.
Consequently, Hack the Box has seen substantial growth over the past few years, off the back of considerable funding up to series B. It’s touted as the world’s largest hacking community, with over 1 million users and a growing number of products, including new training programs such as penetration testing labs, and an academy. With demand for these skills rising, and demand for online teaching equally strong, Hack the Box is operating within a strong market with good growth potential.
