Find, fix and verify is the “next big thing” in IT security
London/Frankfurt – At Black Hat Europe 2022, the brightest professionals and researchers in the industry come together starting December 5th, for a total of four days to get access to research, recent developments, and new trends in Information Security. This year, the US-based company Horizon3.ai definitely rocks the show with a solution for autonomous penetration testing that allows vulnerabilities to be detected and fixed before criminals are able to exploit them. NodeZero is Horizon3.ai’s autonomous Pentesting as a Service solution. “What we need to realize in modern IT security: Attackers don’t hack in, they log in. Credentials are the new remote code execution, and thus more dangerous. With such methods hackers can go unseen as deep as they want into any IT infrastructure and cause more damage than ever,” says Snehal Antani, CEO & Co-Founder of Horizon3.ai and expert speaker at Black Hat Europe 2022.
NodeZero allows ‘find, fix and verify’
Horizon3.ai is one of the fastest-growing companies in IT security. The engineering team has more than 2/3 of its numbers made up of US veterans from the Air Force, Army and US Navy. These include former US nation state level hackers who hunted terrorists in cyberspace. This team has created an innovative and incredibly effective solution for securing IT infrastructure in any organization. These include governments and administration, critical infrastructures in energy companies, healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and retail. “NodeZero uses a specific principle: find, fix and verify. With that pentesting becomes a discipline that does not need scarce in-depth knowledge anymore, but simply an automated process,” comments Rainer M. Richter, Vice President EMEA & APAC of Horizon3.ai. Several industry trends support hacker activities, such as non-expiring passwords, expanding attack surfaces, more devices, more apps and more accounts.
New partners in the UK and the rest of Europe
A few months ago, the European headquarter was established in Frankfurt/Main in Germany, and is led by Rainer M. Richter. In the UK, Mark Peters was appointed as Regional Sales Director UK and Ireland. “NodeZero is an amazing product as it allows any company to look at its own security level with the eye of an attacker, not a defender. Professional pentesters and the IT departments of any corporation can drastically increase the security level through NodeZero by Horizon3.ai,” says the newly appointed UK Regional Sales Director. With the addition of UK based Cloud Business, Ampito and Nexstor, three value added service providers, the Horizon3.ai partner program is gaining real momentum.
