Horizon3.ai has been an exceptional partner. Providing a cutting-edge product with the potential to disrupt the industry presents challenges AND opportunities. H3 is successfully addressing and leveraging both to ensure the quality and integrity of services provided by their core product, NodeZero. The attention and support they give to their partner channel and end-user clients is superb.

“Capable Product for Continued Pen Testing at a Reasonable Cost.”

Overall experiance has been good. Might be a little negative due to the partner we are working with. There are some scheduling issues and results of tests that do not make sense that I think could be handled better.

About Company

Company Description

Updated 24th January 2024

Horizon3.ai is a fusion of former U.S. Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers, and formerly frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. We're committed to helping solve our common security problems: ineffective security tools, false positives resulting in alert fatigue, blind spots, "checkbox” security culture, cybersecurity skills shortage, and the long lead time and expense of hiring outside consultants. Founded in 2019, Horizon3.ai is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

NodeZero Likes & Dislikes

Like

NodeZero helps address the needs of today's security-conscious organizations - from the C-suite down. It offers the means for an organization to understand and address its vulnerabilities in real-time, strengthening its security posture while providing the necessary data for actionable insights and prioritization of remediation efforts.

Like

The ability to see flaws in the system and perform pen tests at our own pace all year long. The product does uncover a lot of good information.

Like

The on-demand nature of the testing NodeZero provides is a big part of it, but even more so is how thorough and helpful the steps for remedying found issues is as it guides you step-by-step through your options.

Dislike

As a new product there are inherent gaps or capabilities that do not fully emulate or replace manual testing. This may not be possible ultimately, but the closer the platform functionality can get to the structure and process of manual testing, the more value it will have in the market.

Dislike

Cannot schedule a job to only run once and how it interprets accounts sharing passwords. There seems to be a bug where it assumes many accounts are sharing the same password.

Dislike

As of this time, we have not found any issues with the NodeZero product. If there was any detraction at all, it might be the expense, but as someone who understands what it does, I feel it is more than worth that expense. It could make it difficult pitching it to others who fixate on the price tag without understanding the product.
