Horizon3.ai NodeZero

Start by pointing NodeZero at what matters most. In the hosted console, define scope: domains, subnets, VLANs, cloud accounts, and specific apps. Add credentials where you want role-aware checks, or keep it black-box. Choose safe-testing limits, maintenance windows, and who should be alerted if something critical is touched. Launch a run and watch as the service enumerates assets, chains weaknesses, and demonstrates impact—without disrupting production. You can pause, constrain, or allowlist mid-run, and tag objectives such as “reach crown-jewel database” or “obtain domain admin” to keep the exercise aligned to your priorities.\n\nFor day-to-day security operations, treat the findings like a work queue. Each item includes reproducible steps, evidence that the issue is real, the path taken, and the blast radius in business terms. One click opens a Jira or ServiceNow ticket with remediation guidance and ownership. Fix the problem, hit Retest, and the platform re-runs only the necessary steps to confirm the outcome. Schedule weekly or monthly sweeps, compare results over time, and track mean time to remediate, exposure days, and trendlines so you can prove progress to auditors and leadership.\n\nPlug NodeZero into your delivery pipeline to prevent regressions. Use the API or CLI to trigger an assessment after staging or production deploys. Test microservices, APIs, and Kubernetes workloads alongside classic web apps and databases. Gate releases on severity thresholds, or let developers run targeted checks from feature branches for fast feedback. The system can emulate different user roles with provided accounts, validate cloud permissions, and spot drift from infrastructure-as-code baselines. Because runs are self-directed, teams don’t need to write test scripts—results arrive with exact payloads and commands developers can replay.\n\nUse it to sharpen detection and prove control effectiveness. Map activity to MITRE ATT&CK, feed events to your SIEM, and verify that EDR, IDS, and SOAR playbooks actually trigger. Purple-team mode lets defenders observe live actions and refine rules in the moment. Export executive summaries that focus on business risk, risk-reduction over time, and the few fixes that collapse many attack paths. Extend the approach to third parties, M&A targets, branch offices, and remote workers to validate segmentation, least privilege, and backup resilience without flying a red team on-site.
