Horizon3.ai Named to the 2025 Fortune Cyber 60 for the Second Consecutive Year
Strengthening Its Leadership in Autonomous Cybersecurity
London, October 31 2024 – Horizon3.ai, a leader in autonomous security solutions, is honoured to announce its second consecutive inclusion in the Fortune Cyber 60, presented by Lightspeed. The list includes the top venture-backed startups offering cybersecurity solutions for organisations. According to the company, Horizon3.ai is the only provider on the list with 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 organisations from the rapidly evolving threat landscape," said Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-Founder of Horizon3.ai. "In today’s cyber battlefield, traditional defences are a recipe for failure. The attacker's perspective must drive defence 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."
Over 2,000 Customers in 30 Countries
Keith Poyser, Vice President for EMEA at Horizon3.ai, highlighted the company’s growth, citing a reported 15-fold increase in revenue over the past three years. He noted a customer base of over 2,000 companies and organisations across more than 60 industries in 30 countries. In over 80,000 penetration tests conducted, more than 1.3 million potential entry points for cybercriminals have been uncovered.
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 organisations 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 organisations can benefit from our leading-edge security capabilities.”
NodeZero as the Key to Success
At the heart of Horizon3.ai’s success is the NodeZero Autonomous Security Platform, which enables organisations 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 organisations to strengthen their defences. The platform integrates threat detection, autonomous pentesting, third-party risk management, and governance, risk, and compliance insights, providing organisations with the tools they need to maintain a resilient cybersecurity posture.
In 2024 alone, Horizon3.ai has launched several major security features, which the company describes as “groundbreaking and pioneering.” 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 organisational risk.
