NCC Group, a people-powered, tech-enabled global cyber resilience business, today announced its partnership with Horizon3.ai to deploy their NodeZero tool into its evolving offensive security capability. The NodeZero platform provides NCC Group’s world class cyber experts with artificial intelligence-powered tooling to conduct network penetration tests and remediation prioritisation at pace, providing clients with greater flexibility and assurance.

  • Clients benefit from greater flexibility and assurance as NodeZero’s automation enables NCC Group to address a wider range of security challenges and budgets.

By combining NodeZero’s technical capabilities with NCC Group’s deep cyber experience and expertise, we’ve created an industry-leading service offering that gives our clients more flexibility and assurance than ever before.

Kevin Brown, Chief Operating Officer, NCC Group comments: “Deploying Horizon3.ai’s artificial intelligence powered NodeZero tool enables our experts to deliver autonomous and hybrid penetration tests and better serve our clients’ evolving needs.
