Horizon3.ai, a leader in autonomous security solutions, is honored to announce its second consecutive inclusion in the Fortune Cyber 60, presented by Lightspeed. This recognition underscores the company’s continued innovation and influence in the cybersecurity industry. The Fortune Cyber 60 acknowledges the top venture-backed startups delivering enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions, with Horizon3.ai remaining the only provider of a fully autonomous penetration testing and threat detection platform, NodeZero™.
“Our recognition in the Fortune Cyber 60 for the second consecutive year is proof of our relentless focus on protecting organizations from the rapidly evolving threat landscape,” said Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-Founder of Horizon3.ai. “In today’s cyber battlefield, traditional defenses are a recipe for failure. The attacker’s perspective must drive defense efforts to stay ahead of sophisticated adversaries. Frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and CMMC 2.0 all call for continuous, proactive assessments—not just box-checking exercises. NodeZero doesn’t simulate attacks; it conducts real attacks, identifying exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers can. This is how we stay ahead and meet the highest standards in cybersecurity.”
At the heart of Horizon3.ai’s success is the NodeZero Autonomous Security Platform, which enables organizations to continuously identify, remediate, and validate exploitable vulnerabilities. By using real-world attackers’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), NodeZero offers the most comprehensive view of exploitable attack paths, empowering organizations to strengthen their defenses. The platform integrates threat detection, autonomous pentesting, third-party risk management, and governance, risk, and compliance insights, providing organizations with the tools they need to maintain a resilient cybersecurity posture.
Matt Hartley, Chief Revenue Officer at Horizon3.ai, added, “The adoption of NodeZero across all sectors continues to accelerate through our trusted partner and MSSP community. We are seeing organizations of every size leverage the platform to achieve a continuously improving security posture. Our partner ecosystem has been instrumental in driving this expansion, helping us meet the surging demand and ensuring that even smaller organizations can benefit from our leading-edge security capabilities.”
So far in 2024, Horizon3.ai has introduced several groundbreaking capabilities that further solidified its position as a pioneer in offensive cybersecurity. These advancements include:
- NodeZero Tripwires™ – Deploys proactive deception mechanisms that detect attacker activity early, diverting them to decoys and exposing their tactics.
- Cloud Penetration Testing – Automated vulnerability detection in cloud environments like AWS and Azure, securing critical cloud assets.
- Rapid Response Service – Provides real-time intelligence on new vulnerabilities, enabling swift responses to zero-day and N-day threats.
- Phishing Impact Testing – Simulates potential damage from compromised credentials, offering a realistic assessment of organizational risk.
Horizon3.ai’s inclusion in the Fortune Cyber 60 underscores its impressive growth, marked by a 15x revenue increase over the past three years, a customer base of over 2,000, more than 80,000 tests conducted within production networks, and over 1.3 million impacts resulting from discovered exploitable attack paths in real-world environments. Organizations spanning 60+ industries across 30 countries rely on NodeZero to verify and fortify their security continuously.
