About Horizon3.ai

Horizon3.ai specializes in cybersecurity by providing autonomous penetration testing solutions through its platform called NodeZero. This Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform enables businesses to simulate cyber-attacks on their systems to uncover vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of their security measures. Unlike traditional methods, NodeZero is self-service, requiring no ongoing human intervention or installation of software agents, making it safe for use in live environments. The primary clients are enterprises in sectors like finance, healthcare, and technology, who need to protect sensitive data and comply with regulations such as PCI DSS. Horizon3.ai operates on a subscription-based model, offering various service tiers that include vulnerability assessments and compliance-focused testing. The company's goal is to help clients enhance their cybersecurity defenses and allocate their budgets more effectively by identifying and addressing exploitable vulnerabilities.
