The company approached $100 million in annual recurring revenue last year, with 120% year-over-year growth, and Hartley said the company expects to accelerate growth this year.

AI tools have made it easier for attackers to develop new exploits quickly, forcing security teams to handle threats faster than they can fix them.

Horizon 3 spent roughly $100 million in R&D building automated systems designed to stay predictable and controllable, says Hartley.
matched
That's pretty significant given recent breaches at AI labs, which raised questions about whether any AI system can truly remain contained.
matched
Hartley said, it's also making people a lot more careful about how they deploy AI.
matched
We're getting a lot of questions today around, can you detect AI?
matched
Of course we can, but I think a lot of organizations that rushed to deploy AI across the enterprise are now thinking twice about the ramifications of those deployments.
matched
What if my own security team gets too aggressive?
matched
Could there be unintended consequences?
matched
So a lot of organizations are moving into what I'd call a bold new world, which is exactly why you need consistent, predictable testing from a company like Horizon 3 to know how to strengthen your own defenses against real-world exploits.
matched
In a statement, Horizon 3 has run 310,000 production security tests with zero disruptions, establishing what it calls AI hackers, fully autonomous penetration testing.
matched
Now, the real competition is not other software vendors.
matched
It's the existing model, according to Hartley.
matched
Most companies hire human security firms to run annual tests, and he says those will not disappear.
matched
What's shifting is what clients demand after signing up.
matched
Instead of sampling 5% of infrastructure once yearly, they now want to scan everything monthly or weekly, tracking whether they're actually getting safer.
matched
With the funding, Horizon 3 is expanding internationally, including new offices in Amsterdam, Australia, and Singapore, while building a partner network and maintaining substantial R&D spending.
matched
Strategic investors now include Singapore's EDBI, defense contractor SAIC, and Qualcomm, signaling that the vulnerability they're addressing extends well beyond any single sector.
matched
Horizon 3 has about 7,300 customers ranging from managed service providers serving small businesses to Fortune 10 enterprises.
matched
The company claims an addressable market of tens of billions of dollars, a figure that aligns with industry estimates of the broader cybersecurity market, valued at $271.9 billion last year and projected to reach $663.2 billion by 2033.
