Company Attributes 19,939% Three-Year Revenue Growth to Rapid Enterprise Adoption of AI-Powered Offensive Security
SAN FRANCISCO – November 19, 2025— Horizon3.ai, the leading provider of offensive security solutions, today announced it ranked third overall on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 31st year.
“Our growth reflects a major shift in cybersecurity as defenders are now thinking like attackers and adopting the machine-speed solutions needed to outpace threats,” said Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-founder, Horizon3.ai. “Our global team is humbled by this recognition and even more energized by what it signals for the future of our industry.”
This latest recognition further validates the company’s notable momentum as the cybersecurity industry has increasingly adopted an offensive mindset and harnessed the power of AI to improve their defenses. Earlier this year, Horizon3.ai was also the number one cybersecurity company listed on the 2025 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies.
“This year’s rankings highlight both enduring leadership and breakthrough momentum,” said Wolfe Tone, US Deloitte Private & Emerging Client Portfolio leader and partner, Deloitte Tax LLP. “More than half of the winners are prior honorees, yet the majority of the top ten are first-time entrants — demonstrating the staying power of established leaders alongside the accelerating growth of new innovators across key sectors. As in previous years, private companies continue to dominate, underscoring the agility that private enterprises bring to competitive markets, enabling the exceptional triple and quadruple digit growth reflected in these rankings.”
Overall, 2025 Technology Fast 500 companies achieved an average growth rate of 1,079%. Horizon3.ai’s meteoric growth is the direct result of enterprise adoption of its proprietary NodeZero® platform. The company now serves nearly 4,500 global organizations (a 117% year-over-year increase), and has successfully executed more than 180,000 autonomous pentests.
