<\/a><\/a>\nAs hybrid environments, AI-driven transformation and operational complexity are reshaping enterprise security, identity has become one of the most important areas that defenders need to protect. Most organizations can\u2019t detect, respond to and remediate cyberattacks against Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta and Ping Security before they become outages. This alliance reflects growing industry demand for security strategies that combine technology investment with measurable workforce readiness.<\/p>
\nBoth companies share a belief that improving cyber resilience is an industry-wide responsibility. Semperis\u2019 \u201cforce for good\u201d approach to cybersecurity aligns with HTB\u2019s mission to help organizations strengthen cyber skills through hands-on training. As identity threats continue to evolve amid AI-driven complexity, organizations need security teams prepared to respond quickly and with confidence.<\/p>
\n\u201cIdentity resilience is not just a tooling challenge. It is a people and readiness challenge,\u201d said Haris Pylarinos, Founder and CEO of Hack The Box. \u201cSemperis brings deep identity-security expertise and a strong commitment to doing what is right for the industry. Together, we can help security teams turn identity-risk insight into hands-on practice, stronger workflows and a more confident response.\u201d<\/p>

\n\u201cAt Semperis, our \u2018Force for Good\u2019 mission means doing right by defenders and the broader cybersecurity community,\u201d said Marty Momdjian, Semperis General Manager, Ready1 & Strategic Initiatives. \u201cAs organizations adapt to new AI-related security threats, they need both the visibility into identity risk and the human skills to respond effectively. Our alliance with Hack The Box reflects that commitment by helping defenders strengthen identity resilience in practice.
