Hack The Box and Semperis have formed a strategic technology alliance to help enterprises strengthen identity resilience in the AI era. As hybrid environments, AI-driven transformation, and operational complexity reshape enterprise security, identity has become one of the most critical layers for defenders to protect. Together, Hack The Box and Semperis will combine hands-on cyber readiness with deep hybrid identity-security expertise to help security teams prepare for and respond to identity-based threats across Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, and Ping Security environments. The alliance will focus on joint training, cyber exercises, educational content, industry activations, and readiness programs that turn identity-risk insight into practical skills, stronger workflows, and more confident response.

A Samba print job name should not be able to become a shell command. But with CVE-2026-4480, an unauthenticated attacker who can reach a guest printer share can achieve pre-auth command execution through Samba’s printing path. In our latest War Room blog, we break down what makes this vulnerability dangerous, how attackers can weaponize it through spoolss, what defenders should hunt for, and how to mitigate exposure. We also built it into Abducted, a new Medium Linux CVE Machine on HTB Labs, so you can explore the vulnerability hands-on.

Security testing can’t stay periodic when enterprise environments are moving continuously. In a new InfoWorld opinion article, Dimitris Bougioukas, SVP, IT Security Training Services at Hack The Box, explores how modern security teams can operationalize continuous purple teaming to keep pace with automated deployment cycles, AI-driven threats, and fast-changing attack techniques. The article breaks down how organizations can bring red and blue team tactics directly into security operations workflows through: • Automated attack scenario simulation • Lab-based validation embedded into operational workflows • Detection telemetry aligned with resilience and readiness KPIs • Integration with SIEM, SOAR, infrastructure-as-code, and existing toolchains • Controlled environments for testing AI red teaming tactics and defensive AI tooling As release velocity increases, continuous purple teaming helps security teams collaborate in real time, validate controls continuously, and build a feedback-driven culture without slowing the business down.
