Autonomous Penetration Testing with NodeZero

SVA is expanding its cybersecurity portfolio to include Horizon3.ai and the NodeZero platform for autonomous penetration testing. NodeZero does more than just identify theoretical vulnerabilities. It provides proof-of-exploits for real-world attack paths and supports the find-fix-verify cycle—including verification that the remediation actually blocks the attack path.

Why This Matters for Businesses

IT landscapes are constantly changing—cloud, identity, new services, new dependencies. One-off assessments often provide only a snapshot. At the same time, pressure is mounting to demonstrate security improvements and provide audit-ready evidence. This is exactly where Continuous Validation comes in: repeatable, measurable, with a clear focus on what is truly exploitable. 

What SVA Delivers in Partnership with Horizon3.ai

SVA combines NodeZero with consulting, enablement, and delivery in Germany. The goal is a scalable offering that doesn’t leave customers to fend for themselves with just a tool implementation, but delivers results: validated findings, prioritized remediation, and verified effectiveness. This results in a repeatable service model—Continuous Validation-as-a-Service—that can be integrated into existing security processes.

Typical Use Cases

NodeZero is particularly well-suited when security teams need clarity on which findings actually lead to a real attack path. Typical scenarios include continuous validation following changes such as patch rollouts or cloud migrations, the assessment of exposure and identity risks, and security control validation as a building block for CTEM-oriented programs. The focus here is on facts rather than assumptions.

Your added value

With SVA and Horizon3.ai, you gain an approach that makes security measurable: not “more reports,” but evidence of real attack paths, prioritization based on actual risk, and a Find-Fix-Verify process that demonstrates progress and makes it repeatable.
