How Hack The Box grew from a passion project to a global leader, with Harris Pylarinos

What does it take to scale a start-up from garage mode to a global superpower, with clients ranging from the US Department of Defense to Toyota?

This week we are joined by Haris Pylarinos, Founder and CEO of Hack The Box. Born initially as a passion project for Harris, Hack The Box has grown to become the world’s leading cybersecurity performance center, providing millions of users with a human-first platform to create and maintain high-performing cybersecurity individuals and organizations. The platform stands out for its innovative gamification approach, making cybersecurity learning more accessible, engaging, effective and fun, and it is used today by clients ranging from Deloitte to the University of South Florida.

We discuss how a community of users evolved into an impressive global clientele, strategies to understand a proper product-market fit, the transformative power of gamification in education and explore the question of Europe’s position in the cybersecurity ecosystem.
