SAN FRANCISCO — December 10, 2025 — Horizon3.ai, the leading provider of offensive security solutions, today announced Threat Informed Perspectives, a major new capability extending the NodeZero® Offensive Security Platform’s core principle that the only perspective that matters is the attacker’s.
Security leaders have spent years trying to answer a simple question. If an attacker lands a foothold, how bad can it get, and are we getting better at containing the damage. Traditional assessments and vulnerability counts do not answer that. Threat Informed Perspectives does.
Threat Informed Perspectives let organizations define the footholds that matter most, such as a compromised DMZ host, a stolen SSO credential, a misconfigured cloud role, or a highly-privileged workstation. From each foothold, NodeZero runs attacker-aligned pentests to map blast radius, measure time-to-impact, and validate whether identity, segmentation, and EDR controls hold. The result is evidence, not theory, so teams see exactly what an attacker can reach and how fast.
The result is a shift from activity-based security to outcome-based security. Executives gain clear, defensible evidence of improvement over time. They move from “We fixed a lot of vulnerabilities” to “Here’s how many exploitable attack paths we’ve eliminated,” and from “We deployed tools” to “We verified our defenses contain real attacks.”
Additionally, Pentesting Campaigns allow organizations to turn Threat Informed Perspectives into repeatable, measurable security programs built around key initiatives like identity, cloud posture, and compliance. Organizations can use Campaigns to track trends, catch regressions, and verify remediation impact.
Threat Informed Perspectives reflects how attackers operate. NodeZero chains weaknesses into viable attack paths, probes segmentation boundaries, and exposes identity weaknesses, giving leaders a realistic view of risk and a measurable plan to reduce it. Boards, auditors, regulators, and insurers get evidence not assumptions.
“Most security programs measure activity. Attackers measure opportunity. The real question every leader needs answered is simple. If an attacker starts here, how far can they get, how quickly, and are we getting better at stopping them. Threat Informed Perspectives turns that into a measurable program. Define the foothold, run the test, see the blast radius, and shrink it through a disciplined find, fix, verify loop. The key point is simple. This proves you are harder to compromise, and that is what actually matters,” said Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-Founder of Horizon3.ai.
Partners benefit as well. MSSPs, GSIs, and advisory firms can build repeatable, outcome-driven services on Threat Informed Perspectives. Pre-built industry-aligned scenarios (healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and the public sector) enable recurring attacker-aligned tests and show measurable exposure reduction. This becomes the backbone of a high-value vCISO or advisory program powered by real attacker evidence, not slides.
Availability
Threat Informed Perspectives is now available to all NodeZero customers.
