Horizon3.ai — Autonomous Penetration Testing

Horizon3.ai's NodeZero platform runs autonomous penetration tests that exploit real vulnerabilities in your environment — proving what an attacker could actually do, not just what's theoretically vulnerable. On-demand pen testing without hiring a pen test firm.

Vulnerability scanners tell you what’s potentially vulnerable. Pen testers tell you what’s actually exploitable — but traditional pen tests are expensive, slow, and typically done once or twice per year. Horizon3.ai’s NodeZero platform runs autonomous penetration tests on demand, proving which vulnerabilities can actually be chained together to compromise your environment.

Brivy IT uses Horizon3.ai to provide clients with continuous proof of security posture. We run NodeZero regularly — after major changes, before audits, or as part of ongoing security programs. Combined with ConnectSecure scanning and Vicarius remediation, it creates a complete identify-prove-fix cycle for vulnerability management.

Core Capabilities

Autonomous Pen Testing — AI-driven attack simulation that discovers, exploits, and chains vulnerabilities across your environment without human pen testers.
Proof of Exploitability — Every finding includes proof that the vulnerability was actually exploited, not just theoretically possible. Screenshots, credential captures, and attack paths are documented.
Attack Path Mapping — Visualize how an attacker could move laterally through your network by chaining multiple vulnerabilities — revealing risks that individual scans miss.
Credential Testing — Test for weak passwords, password reuse, default credentials, and credential stuffing across Active Directory, cloud services, and applications.
On-Demand Testing — Run pen tests anytime without scheduling, scoping, or waiting for a third-party firm. Test after every major change to catch new exposures immediately.
Fix Verification — Re-run tests after remediation to verify that fixes actually closed the vulnerability and didn’t introduce new ones.

GREAT FIT IF YOU…

✓Need penetration testing more often than annually
✓Want proof of what's actually exploitable in your environment
✓Need to validate remediation effectiveness
✓Looking for continuous security validation

NOT THE BEST FIT IF YOU…

✗Need ongoing vulnerability scanning (see ConnectSecure)
✗Want endpoint protection (see ThreatDown)
✗Looking for compliance-only scanning without exploitation

Frequently Asked Questions

How is autonomous pen testing different from vulnerability scanning?

Vulnerability scanners identify potential weaknesses. NodeZero actually exploits them — proving which vulnerabilities are real risks by chaining them together into attack paths. A scanner might find 1,000 vulnerabilities; NodeZero shows you which 5 could lead to a breach.

Does NodeZero replace manual pen testing?

For most SMBs, yes. NodeZero provides equivalent or better coverage than annual manual pen tests, with the advantage of running on demand. Some compliance frameworks or enterprise contracts still require human-led pen tests, and Brivy IT can arrange those when needed.

How often should we run pen tests?

We recommend running NodeZero at least monthly, plus after any significant infrastructure changes. The beauty of autonomous testing is that there's no scheduling delay or per-test cost barrier to testing frequently.
