Keith Poyser Appointed as Vice President for EMEA at Horizon3.ai
London, 25 September 2024 – Horizon3.ai, a global leader in autonomous security solutions, today announced the appointment of Keith Poyser as Vice President for EMEA. Poyser brings more than 25 years of experience in driving sales growth, strategy, and business development in leading cybersecurity and technology firms. He joins Horizon3.ai at a time of significant market expansion as the company continues to deliver its cutting-edge solution, NodeZero™, to organisations worldwide.
Poyser has built an impressive career in the technology sector, holding key leadership roles at organisations like SentinelOne, Palo Alto Networks, BigFix, and IBM. With a proven track record of building and revamping sales teams, developing go-to-market strategies, and driving sustained growth, Poyser is well-positioned to lead Horizon3.ai’s expansion efforts across the EMEA region.
“I focus on three key aspects in any opportunity: people, technology, and market potential,” said Poyser. “Horizon3.ai excels in all three areas. The company boasts a top-tier leadership team, innovative technology with clear differentiation that addresses real-world challenges, and a strong market opportunity. As organisations seek to reduce costs and manage risks, the NodeZero autonomous penetration testing platform is a game changer. I’m excited to join Horizon3.ai at this pivotal stage of advancement, lead the existing EMEA team, and help drive regional expansion and growth.”
Poyser’s leadership will focus on strategic talent development, refining go-to-market strategies, operational excellence, and expanding partnerships across key verticals and regions. He emphasises the importance of efficient resource management and delivering value to clients as Horizon3.ai continues to help organisations address today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges.
“We are thrilled to have Keith join our leadership team,” said Matt Harley, CRO at Horizon3.ai. “His deep experience in cybersecurity, combined with his proven ability to scale businesses, will be instrumental as we continue to expand our presence in the EMEA market. The growing demand for cyber risk assessments across regions has made the NodeZero platform the ideal solution for helping organisations meet critical regulatory requirements, such as the NIS 2 Directive, ensuring compliance while safeguarding their infrastructures.”
Poyser’s prior roles include leadership positions at SentinelOne, where he served as Area Vice President for Northern EMEA, and Palo Alto Networks, where he led Enterprise Sales and then served as Interim Vice President for Western Europe. His wealth of experience includes leading teams through periods of rapid growth, driving sales excellence, and consistently exceeding performance targets.
With his deep understanding of the EMEA market, Poyser is ready to lead the company’s next phase of expansion. Outside of work, Poyser, who is based just outside of London, enjoys the outdoors and is an accomplished long-range rifle competitor, having represented the UK internationally.
About Horizon3.ai and NodeZero™: Horizon3.ai offers a cloud-based platform called NodeZero that enables companies and public authorities to carry out continuous self-assessments on their IT infrastructure to check their cyber resilience (known as penetration tests or pentests). The costs are low due to the cloud concept, making regular pentesting affordable even for medium-sized companies. Horizon3.ai constantly analyses emerging vulnerabilities and adds new attack content to NodeZero so companies can uncover their truly exploitable issues. Once identified, NodeZero also provides specific advice on how to rectify them. With this platform, Horizon3.ai helps companies and authorities to fulfil the increasing regulatory requirements for measuring cyber resilience, which suggest that a self-assessment should be carried out in-house at least once a week.
