NVISO stays threat-ready with HTB’s enterprise platform

Their story 

NVISO Security is a pure-play European CyberSecurity firm that specializes in technical services that help businesses Prevent, Detect & Respond to cyber attacks.

Their services include penetration testing, adversary emulation, managed detection & response services, cyber strategy & architecture, and cloud security.

Unsurprisingly, their team of specialists (who routinely participate in events such as the RSA Conference and deliver external training courses) must be on their A-game across many aspects of cybersecurity. 

Their goal

Given the nature of the work they do for customers and partners, the team at NVISO has always prioritized staying ahead of the curve by aggressively learning – and mastering – new subjects and technologies.

In many instances, learning platforms provide content that can feel monotonous and otherwise quite bland. That’s when Firat Acar, NVISO’s Red Team CyberSecurity Consultant, set out to find a CyberSecurity training solution to keep his colleagues engaged in continuous development.

“Hack The Box was already well-known with many of our colleagues, especially those in the security assessments division. The gamified learning opportunities that Hack The Box offers are especially attractive to organize internal group learning events.”

Their solution

Firat and his team started using Hack The Box in 2019 to push the boundaries of their technical skills with exciting, practical challenges that prepared them for a variety of exploits and vulnerabilities.

“Over the years, Hack The Box has come up with interesting concepts, such as the Academy and Enterprise Platform, which also sparked our interest. Deployment of boxes on the Hack The Box Enterprise Platform is as easy as pressing a button and within one minute, the box is available.”

NVISO combined the Academy for Business and Dedicated Labs products to provide a broad spectrum of upskilling opportunities to teams across the organization.

“We use Academy to onboard new joiners or those interested in moving to the security assessments division, whilst the Dedicated Labs are used by individual colleagues and teams for private learning or for team events like our ‘Hacktion Nights’.”

Their success

“By making use of the Enterprise platform and the Hack The Box Academy, we have been able to onboard new joiners more efficiently and promote internal mobility for our security assessments team.”

• 65% (approximate) increase in voluntary time spent training cyber skills with HTB Enterprise

• Time spent setting up and maintaining internally developed lab environments and skills pathways reduced from days to minutes

• NVISO now onboards all new joiners with HTB Academy to upskill its team, helping them reduce the cost of training new consultants to a level where they are project-ready.
