Horizon3.ai Named Winner of the Coveted Global InfoSec Awards

Horizon3.ai’s NodeZero Wins Best Penetration Test Solutions Award in 10th Annual Global InfoSec Awards at #RSAC 2022

Horizon3.ai is proud to announce its NodeZero Autonomous Penetration Testing has won the Best Penetration Test Solution Award from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine.

NodeZero is an autonomous penetration testing platform that continuously assesses an enterprise’s attack surface, identifying ways an attacker could chain together harvested credentials, misconfigurations, dangerous product defaults, and exploitable vulnerabilities to compromise systems and data. NodeZero provides a true understanding of an organization’s cyber risk profile across its entire environment through both internal and external penetration testing, helping organizations focus on fixing problems that could otherwise be exploited, saving time and resources that would typically be spent chasing false positives.

For example, NodeZero was able to successfully hack a bank in 7 minutes and 19 seconds. No humans were involved, no custom software was developed, and there was no “cheating.” In minutes, NodeZero was able to map the environment (called reconnaissance), successfully capture user IDs & passwords, and chain together software misconfigurations and vulnerabilities to become a Domain Administrator, which means NodeZero had the keys to the kingdom and showed how a threat actor could have destroyed data, locked out users, and shut down critical business systems. Shockingly, this bank had the latest cybersecurity tools available, yet no security alert was triggered because these tools from many vendors were not designed to work together. Such tools are easy to misconfigure and can be hard to learn to use properly.

“We’re thrilled to receive one of the most prestigious and coveted cybersecurity awards in the world from Cyber Defense Magazine, during their 10th anniversary as an independent cybersecurity news and information provider. We knew the competition would be tough and with top judges who are leading infosec experts from around the globe, we couldn’t be more pleased,” said Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-Founder, Horizon3.ai.

“Horizon3.ai embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
