“As a market leader, Horizon3.ai is reshaping how technology service providers approach autonomous security.”
Inderhees continued: “By combining our platform, NodeZero, with focused enablement and GTM support, we’re helping partners transform pentesting into a gateway for higher-margin services from compliance and remediation to consulting and managed security services.
“It’s a massive opportunity for our ecosystem to build sustainable growth.”
NodeZero states that it is trusted by more than 3,000 organisations and used in nearly 120,000 real-world tests.
It allows partners to help their customers continuously identify and eliminate exploitable weaknesses by thinking and acting like an attacker.
