BlackSky FAQs
Contact us to get started.
Is there a user limit?
You can have as many users as you like. As with our Professional Labs, BlackSky is available starting from ten concurrent users, but you can add more whenever you need to.
Do I need an instance of a cloud platform to use BlackSky?
No - we stand up and host the infrastructure for your BlackSky labs so you don’t have to. Just log into the Hack The Box Enterprise platform and access the scenarios as normal.
Can I choose just one scenario?
Access to BlackSky includes all three labs: Hailstorm (AWS), Cyclone (Azure), Blizzard (GCP), which you can rotate between just the same as our Professional Labs.
How does BlackSky compare to the other Professional Labs scenarios like Dante or Cybernetics?
Unlike our Professional Labs, BlackSky is focused on the unique challenges presented by the use of modern cloud infrastructure. These labs will help your team be more aware of cloud security pitfalls specifically, and how to strengthen your security posture.
Is BlackSky included in existing Professional Lab subscriptions?
BlackSky is available separately from our Professional Labs, or as a paid upgrade to an existing Professional Labs subscription. Contact us to discuss the most suitable package for your needs.
