Hack The Box Launches AI Range for Enterprise to Test AI Security Agents

Hack The Box has made its AI Range platform, designed for testing and measuring the effectiveness of AI security agents, available to enterprise security teams with the launch of AI Range Enterprise Edition. This new offering empowers organizations to evaluate whether their AI agents can successfully perform assigned cybersecurity roles, enabling more informed decisions about deploying these agents across their workforce.

While human employees undergo rigorous job assessments, AI agents have often lacked similar scrutiny. Organizations may integrate AI agents based on benchmark performance or vendor claims without verifying their capabilities against the actual, continuous tasks they will handle. The performance of AI agents can also fluctuate due to evolving models, software, data inputs, and the dynamic threat landscape.

Initially introduced in December 2025, AI Range was developed to test AI security agents within controlled cyber environments. Since its inception, the platform has been adopted and pressure-tested by various entities, including AI labs, government agencies, and hyperscale cloud providers. The Enterprise Edition builds upon this foundation by incorporating a role-based appraisal process that security teams can apply to their own AI agents.

Hack The Box's Cyber Workforce Development strategy emphasizes the integration of both human and AI capabilities. The AI Range Enterprise Edition facilitates this by allowing organizations to appraise their AI agents against defined cybersecurity roles, providing evidence-based proof of their ability to meet specific job standards. Furthermore, it introduces Agentic Operator Competence Scoring, a proprietary system to evaluate whether human cybersecurity professionals possess the critical judgment needed to oversee AI agents, question their outputs, and intervene when necessary.

"As AI takes on more cybersecurity tasks, leaders need confidence in both sides of the workforce," stated Haris Pylarinos, CEO of Hack The Box. "They need to know that agents can do the jobs they are being given, but they also need people with the expertise and judgment to direct that work, verify it and step in when needed. Building cyber readiness means developing human capability and understanding agent capability together."

The Agentic Worker Competence methodology within AI Range Enterprise Edition provides role-based scores, pass-or-fail results for specific environments, and performance tracking over time. Hack The Box continuously updates the platform with environments reflecting new vulnerabilities and attack patterns to maintain appraisal integrity. Organizations can re-run appraisals as agents, models, or operating conditions change, allowing them to monitor performance trends.

"Connect the agent, assign it a role and let it work," explained Gerasimos Marketos, Chief Product Officer at Hack The Box. "AI Range records how the agent handles the task independently, including where it succeeds and where it struggles. Security leaders can use those results to decide what work an agent is ready to take on and where human oversight is still needed."

AI-augmented roles are also being integrated into existing cybersecurity workflows, such as penetration testing and security operations. These roles help organizations develop and measure the skills practitioners need to effectively leverage AI, including the judgment to review AI-generated alerts, investigate suspicious activities, and evaluate recommended actions, ensuring human oversight remains a critical component of AI-driven security operations.
