We’ve just launched the HTB Certified Junior Cybersecurity Associate (HTB CJCA) certification and Junior Cybersecurity Analyst job-role path — designed to equip complete beginners with hands-on training across core cybersecurity fundamentals and help them start confidently in the field.

With a hybrid curriculum covering both offensive and defensive skills, and professional-level reporting, HTB CJCA builds the foundation for junior professionals and practitioners to collaborate effectively from day one.

The course and certification is deal for:

The curriculum offers a comprehensive view on security basics and fundamentals, with Modules covering general, offensive, and defensive knowledge domains – all mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and NIST/NICE frameworks. Now available across all HTB business plans and Silver Annual subscription for individual learners, log in to your account and start exploring today.

Today, we’re excited to announce support for a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server in our CTF platform. This upgrade marks a new frontier in hands-on security learning: cybersecurity professionals (and aspiring ones) are augmented by AI tools and automation, and human expertise is amplified by intelligent systems.

In simpler terms, we’re bringing the latest AI capabilities directly into your playground, making advanced skills development more accessible and powerful than ever.

Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. You’re chatting with Claude to improve a sentence or get a recipe. Now imagine doing that and asking about the next Pillar event on the HTB CTF platform, or even solving challenges and writing a write-up, all in the same chat. That’s what MCP enables: seamless communication between AI tools and our CTF platform.

Beyond allowing players to use their preferred tools with our platform, MCP opens the door to even bigger opportunities. Customers are now able to connect their own AI models to train and compete with our content securely, all through MCP.

Two (2) new CTF packs have just dropped, designed to build hands-on expertise in blue teaming and crypto exploitation through real-world scenarios.

Crafted for aspiring SOC analysts and individuals transitioning from IT roles, this pack features 12 beginner-friendly scenarios focused on defensive skills. Participants will analyze network captures, investigate malware infections, apply OSINT techniques, and solve SOC-related scripting tasks to build a strong blue team foundation.

Tailored for red teamers, penetration testers, and application security engineers, this pack delivers 10 realistic scenarios highlighting cryptographic flaws in modern web apps. From weak JWT signing and RSA misuse to hash length extension attacks, participants will learn to identify and exploit crypto bugs with high-impact consequences.

Six (6) new exclusive releases just dropped on Dedicated Labs, featuring CVE exploitation, AD delegation abuse, MITRE-based threat hunting, and unauthenticated RCE in modern web stacks.

Hiring skilled cybersecurity professionals is a notoriously difficult task. Traditional screening methods (like degree requirements or theoretical interviews) often fall short in evaluating a candidate’s true hands-on abilities in cyber defense or offense. Skill-based hiring has emerged as a solution – focusing on demonstrable competencies through practical assessments rather than just credentials.

Talent Search provides access to a massive talent pool of 3.6M+ cyber professionals looking for their next role. Source and hire candidates with validated skills directly from the community – quickly and easily.

Moving forward, all HTB customers will be able to purchase a Talent Search subscription directly from their subscription page. Choose between , , or based on your hiring needs!

Threat Range is a new mode available on the HTB CTF platform designed to train security operations center (SOC) analysts and digital forensics (DFIR) investigators in realistic cyber defense scenarios – structured around a full attack-and-defend scenario divided into phases, with clear objectives for the blue team at each step: from attack execution to reporting.

This new simulation environment is built around the core tasks that a SOC team performs, emphasizing collaboration and prioritization skills. At the core of the experience is gamification, where players earn points and the dynamically tracks the team's performance, showcasing the impact of the exercise on their overall capabilities.

Tailored specifically for professional cyber teams, targeting defensive job roles and organizations aiming to assess and improve their blue team skills through hands-on, realistic simulations – admins will also have access to essential business metrics such as , and .

Threat Range is available from now for all HTB business customers with the same credit-based model of CTF events. Talk to our team to kickstart your first attack simulation (starting from 10,000 credits).
