Why Our Platform Wins

Built for proof, not promises

While others chase headlines with slide decks and LLM hype, NodeZero® is quietly transforming security operations worldwide. Over 3,000 organizations — from banks and healthcare systems to energy providers, manufacturers, governments, and defense contractors — have conducted 150,000+ real-world pentests with NodeZero.

These assessments fuel the world’s largest corpus of offensive telemetry — and it’s growing exponentially. That real-world data drives smarter decisions, faster attack path discovery, and proven outcomes at scale. That’s why our platform wins: real attacks, real environments, real impact.

This isn’t theoretical coverage.
This is offensive security at scale.

Inside the impact: what success looks like

Proving value to clients — not just checking boxes

Open Quote Streamline Icon: https://streamlinehq.com

Our clients used to ask us to prove what we did. Now they see the attack paths we stopped and the risks we fixed. NodeZero shows them the why.”

Finding real issues legacy tools miss

Open Quote Streamline Icon: https://streamlinehq.com

In DIB environments, we’ve found everything from domain creds in build logs to attack paths that bypassed EDR. You wouldn’t see that with a scanner.”

Making security measurable

Open Quote Streamline Icon: https://streamlinehq.com

Before NodeZero, we had no way to validate whether remediations actually worked. Now we run retests, track risk reduction, and report outcomes.”

Building confidence from C-suite to SOC

Open Quote Streamline Icon: https://streamlinehq.com

We use NodeZero results to brief our board. They understand the risk because it’s real. Not theoretical. They see results and trends over time.”

Why security teams are choosing NodeZero

From Fortune 500 to critical infrastructure, customers trust NodeZero to test where others guess.

0+
successful pentests

Real attacks, safely executed — proving exploitability without disruption.

0 simulations,
0 assumptions

NodeZero performs live attacks in production, then stops before causing harm — delivering proof, not possibility.

0%
repeatable and safe

NodeZero runs autonomously, re-tests fixes, and integrates into your workflows without agents or configuration headaches.

What security leaders can now prove

We’re validating real attacker behavior

Not CVSS scores — real exploits, real paths, real risk.

We’re improving security posture, not just reporting

NodeZero lets us measure exposure reduction and demonstrate control effectiveness over time.

We’re accountable to outcomes

Every NodeZero operation delivers proof — not just a PDF.
