The new EMEA headquarters strengthens Horizon3.ai’s support for customers and partners across Europe while advancing its mission to help organizations prove their security.
Horizon3.ai has officially opened its new Amsterdam headquarters, marking an important milestone in the company’s continued international expansion. The new office will serve as the company’s regional headquarters for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), strengthening Horizon3.ai’s ability to support its growing customer base and partner ecosystem across the region.
The opening brought together customers, partners, employees, industry leaders, and government representatives to celebrate the milestone and discuss how AI is reshaping both cyber threats and cyber defense. We were honored to welcome Ms. Hilde van der Meer, Commissioner for the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency and Chair of the Invest in Holland network, who joined Horizon3.ai leadership to officially commemorate the opening of the new Amsterdam headquarters, underscoring the importance of continued investment and innovation within the Netherlands’ thriving technology ecosystem.

More than a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the opening reflects a significant shift in how organizations approach cybersecurity. As attackers leverage automation and artificial intelligence to increase the speed and scale of their operations, annual penetration tests, vulnerability scans, and compliance-driven assessments are no longer enough. Organizations increasingly want ongoing evidence that their defenses can withstand real-world attacks.
Why Europe, Why Amsterdam?
Amsterdam was selected as Horizon3.ai’s EMEA headquarters because it offers exceptional international connectivity, a thriving cybersecurity ecosystem, and access to world-class talent. Combined with its strategic location, the city provides an ideal base from which to support customers and partners across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Europe has become one of Horizon3.ai’s fastest-growing regions as organizations seek more effective ways to understand what attackers can actually exploit, validate that their defenses are working as intended, and reduce real-world cyber risk.
“At a time when attackers are moving faster and using AI more effectively, organisations need more than vulnerability scans, dashboards and periodic assessments,” said Keith Poyser, Vice President, EMEA at Horizon3.ai. “With our focus on exploitability, our Amsterdam headquarters and fast growing regional team here strengthen our ability to support customers across EMEA as they shift to continuous assurance.”
A Milestone in Horizon3.ai’s Global Growth
The opening of the Amsterdam headquarters marks another important milestone in Horizon3.ai’s global growth and reinforces the company’s long-term investment in the European market.
Over the past year, Horizon3.ai has experienced rapid growth across the EMEA region as organizations increasingly seek practical ways to understand what attackers can actually exploit, validate that their defenses are working as intended, and reduce real-world cyber risk. Growing regulatory expectations and AI-driven threats have accelerated that shift.
Supporting that growth is NodeZero®, the AI-native proactive security platform trusted by more than 5,500 organizations worldwide. Having autonomously executed more than 250,000 production-safe penetration tests, NodeZero helps organizations identify what attackers can actually exploit, prioritize remediation, and verify that security improvements have reduced real-world risk.
Employees, customers, partners, and guests gathered outside Horizon3.ai’s new Amsterdam headquarters to celebrate the opening of the company’s EMEA headquarters and its continued investment across Europe.

“Cybersecurity has entered a new phase where confidence alone is not enough,” added Snehal Antani, Co-founder and CEO of Horizon3.ai. “Security teams need the ability to continuously validate their exposure. Our expansion in Amsterdam reflects both the scale of this market transition and our long-term commitment to Europe.”
As Horizon3.ai continues to expand internationally, the Amsterdam headquarters will play a central role in supporting customers, enabling partners, growing the regional team and advancing the company’s mission to help organizations shift from assuming they are secure to proving it.
For Horizon3.ai, Amsterdam is more than a new office. It is a long-term commitment to helping organizations across Europe continuously validate their cyber resilience, reduce real-world risk, and stay ahead of an increasingly AI-driven threat landscape.
