Your attack surface changes every time you ship

New cloud services.
New code.
New integrations.
New AI features.

Your security team has to keep up with all of them while protecting the company behind the product.

You may have a readiness gap if:

Security skills aren't keeping pace with the technology you ship

Cloud and CI/CD attack paths aren't regularly rehearsed

Developers know secure coding principles but rarely practice them

Critical client knowledge sits with a few experienced people

Certifications tell you who passed, not who can perform

Client bids ask for capability evidence you have to assemble manually

AI is taking L1 work without a clear development path for the people who used to learn from it

Growth depends on hiring skills you could be building internally

Your product keeps changing.
Your workforce has to change with it.

Build product security as a continuous discipline

01

Assess

Find the capability gaps behind the product.
Benchmark individuals and teams against hands-on tasks before deciding where development is needed.

02

Build

Develop people around the work they perform.
Create role-based paths across defensive, offensive, cloud, software, and AI security.

03

Drill

Practice against realistic targets.
Give individuals hands-on repetitions, then test teams against cloud, supply-chain, and full attack scenarios.

04

Measure

See whether capability changed.
Track skills, threat coverage, team performance, and readiness over time.

Assess. Build. Drill. Measure. Repeat.

Faster time to billable

Get new hires ready for client work faster

A new analyst only starts creating value when they can perform at the standard you sell.

Waiting months for live client work to build that experience slows growth and puts quality at risk.

HTB gives new hires hands-on practice before the client becomes the training environment.

Build role-specific skills

Practice realistic tasks

Measure capability

Move toward billable work

Move people toward billable work with evidence behind the decision.

Customer result
40%

Faster onboarding

Easi, an MSSP customer, cut onboarding time by 40% with HTB.

Faster onboarding doesn't just improve learning.

It shortens the distance between hiring someone and putting their skills to work.

AI-ready workforce

Build people who can work with AI, not just secure it

AI is also changing how your security team operates.

Agents can take on more security work.

But someone still has to judge the result.

Your practitioners still need to decide

• Was the decision right?
• Does the evidence support it?
• Should the agent continue?
• Should a human intervene?

HTB's AI workforce model develops both sides of the problem.

Security for AI

Test and defend the AI systems you deploy

Build people who can test and defend the AI systems you deploy.

◇
AI for security

Direct and challenge AI inside security workflows

Develop practitioners who know how to direct and challenge AI agents inside security workflows.

↑
AI-augmented development

Practice with AI against live targets

Give people hands-on practice using AI agents against live targets.

↗

AI becomes more valuable when the person directing it

knows what good looks like.

Build trust beyond the product

Turn workforce capability into stronger customer confidence

Crisis readiness
01

Drill the breach your customers will experience with you

A platform breach isn't only an internal security event.

Your customers are part of the incident.

While technical teams investigate and contain the attack, the business needs to understand customer exposure, make disclosure decisions, and communicate clearly.

Crisis Control runs cross-functional decision-making alongside a live technical simulation.

Security, product, engineering, and leadership can rehearse the same incident at the same time.

Technical containment gets tested.

So does the communication that protects customer trust.

Customer evidence
02

Turn cyber capability into customer evidence

A security questionnaire can tell a prospect what controls you have.

Workforce readiness gives you another layer of evidence.

Cyber Workforce Intelligence and Enterprise Reporting help you measure areas such as:

  • ✓ Workforce readiness
  • ✓ Individual skills gaps
  • ✓ MITRE ATT&CK coverage
  • ✓ Role progression
  • ✓ Team drill performance
  • ✓ Detection and response performance
  • ✓ Framework alignment

Role development can map to NIST NICE. Threat-focused practice can map to MITRE ATT&CK.

AI security development can align to MITRE ATLAS, OWASP guidance, and Google SAIF.

So when customers ask how you protect what you're selling, you have evidence behind the answer.

Talent development
03

Give technical talent somewhere harder to go

Technology companies compete for people who like solving difficult problems.

Keeping them means giving them difficult problems to solve.

Role-based development creates progression from entry-level through advanced technical roles.

Hands-on labs add depth.

  • ✓ Professional Labs give offensive teams complete enterprise attack chains.
  • ✓ Cloud Labs extend practice across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • ✓ AI security creates another specialist path.
  • ✓ Practical certifications give people milestones they can prove.

The result is a development path that keeps moving as the technology does.

Prove capability

Turn hands-on performance into evidence for leadership and customer security conversations.

Readiness protects more than the security program

The operational value of readiness

The cost of getting it wrong

Readiness protects more than the security program

$4.79M

Average cost of a technology breach

The supplied technology-sector material puts the average cost of a technology breach at $4.79M.

But for a technology company, the bill doesn't stop with remediation.

A platform breach can multiply across your customer base.

Lost trust can become lost revenue.

The Forrester TEI study commissioned by HTB also modeled operational gains including:

50%

Lower MTTA

Threats acknowledged faster.

30%

Lower MTTR

Incidents contained sooner.

15% → 8%

Escalation probability

Fewer at-risk incidents escalating.

35%

Faster junior onboarding

People productive in three to four months rather than six to nine.

The value isn't more learning activity.

It's greater capability behind the technology your customers depend on.

Customer proof

Proof that technical teams want to participate

The supplied technology-sector material points to Autodesk developer upskilling as technology-industry proof.

It also highlights an Autodesk-style CTF engagement where more than 90% of participants wanted CTFs year-round.

90%+

wanted CTFs year-round

That matters because workforce development only works when technical people actually want to take part.

Not a generic platform tour.

Common questions from technology and SaaS security leaders

We already have SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. Why do we need this?

Those standards can provide important assurance.

They don't by themselves show how a practitioner will respond to a cloud attack, how a team performs against a supply-chain compromise, or whether your people can test the AI you're shipping.

HTB adds hands-on development, team drills, and measurable workforce capability.

How does this help product security?

Dedicated Labs and Academy give practitioners hands-on security development, including secure coding.

Cloud Labs extend practice into AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Professional Labs develop full-chain offensive capability.

The aim is to build security skills around the environments and products your teams work with.

Can we train against cloud attacks?

Yes.

Cloud Labs provide full-chain attack and defense practice across AWS, Azure, and GCP through dedicated scenarios for each cloud.

What about our AI products?

The AI Red Teamer path and COAE build offensive AI-security capability.

The supplied material also maps AI security to MITRE ATLAS, OWASP guidance, and Google SAIF.

How does this help our SOC?

Your SOC protects both the business and the product.

SOC Range develops individual analyst judgment.

Threat Range lets teams rehearse realistic attack chains, including the cloud and supply-chain paths highlighted in the technology-sector material.

How does this help with customer security reviews?

The supplied technology messaging specifically identifies security reviews as part of the sales cycle, especially when customers ask how AI products are secured.

HTB gives you hands-on capability development, practical certifications, and workforce evidence behind those conversations.

What happens when a platform breach affects customers?

Crisis Control lets technical response run alongside cross-functional decision-making.

That gives security, engineering, leadership, and other stakeholders a way to rehearse containment and customer-facing disclosure together before a real incident forces the decisions.

Your bench is what the client buys

Build security skills as quickly as the product changes.
Practice against the cloud and attack paths it depends on.
Red-team the AI you're shipping.
Rehearse the breach before customers experience it.
Then prove the people behind your product are ready.
