# Hack The Box Reports Cyber Training ROI

A Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Hack The Box modeled a 330% three-year return on investment for cybersecurity workforce readiness at a composite organization with more than 300 cybersecurity staff. The model estimated $1.2 million in benefits, $285,000 in costs, $939,000 in net present value, and payback in under six months, alongside improvements in incident response, onboarding, retention, and penetration-testing efficiency. The study drew on interviews with seven existing customers; it is vendor-commissioned market intelligence, not a government solicitation, contract award, or procurement announcement.

- Procurement teams and contractors can use the findings as a potential business-case reference for hands-on cyber workforce training, while validating the study’s assumptions against their own staffing, training, and operational baselines.
- The modeled results may inform evaluations of workforce-readiness platforms, but buyers should account for the study’s commissioned nature and limited customer interview sample when assessing expected benefits.
- No agency requirement, funding opportunity, procurement contact, or solicitation deadline is identified.
