Horizon3.ai, a pioneer in autonomous security solutions, has officially unveiled its Vanguard Partner Program—a strategic global channel initiative designed to empower partners with scalable, service-centric growth opportunities. The announcement coincides with the company’s inaugural Global Partner Conference 2025, currently underway in Frisco, Texas, where partners from across the globe have gathered to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and define the next chapter in cybersecurity.
Built around a structured, tiered framework—Silver, Gold, and Platinum—the Vanguard Partner Program is crafted to deliver increasing value based on technical expertise and business alignment. Tailored for MSSPs, resellers, consultants, and distributors, the program emphasizes recurring revenue, services-led scalability, and go-to-market enablement. Partners will benefit from a robust set of commercial, technical, and marketing resources designed to fast-track success and profitability.
“The team at Horizon3.ai is thrilled to roll out our innovative Vanguard Partner Program,” said Marc Inderhees, Vice President of Channels & Alliances at Horizon3.ai. “As a market leader, Horizon3.ai is reshaping how technology service providers approach autonomous security. By combining our platform, NodeZero, with focused enablement and GTM support, we’re helping partners transform pentesting into a gateway for higher-margin services—from compliance and remediation to consulting and managed security services. It’s a massive opportunity for our ecosystem to build sustainable growth.”

At the core of the program is NodeZero®, Horizon3.ai’s autonomous pentesting platform, trusted by over 3,000 organizations and proven across nearly 120,000 real-world engagements. NodeZero empowers partners to continuously uncover and remediate exploitable weaknesses by emulating attacker behavior. This offensive, real-world approach validates security defenses, exposes overlooked gaps, and enhances deception-based detection—capabilities often missed by conventional tools and manual assessments.
Key benefits of the Vanguard Partner Program include:
-
Deal registration, renewal protection, and lead sharing to drive partner-first growth
-
Multi-tenant licensing and proof-of-value (POV) capabilities to streamline service delivery
-
Access to on-demand and instructor-led training for both technical and sales teams
-
Role-specific accreditations for Sales Executives, Solution Architects, and Admins
-
Co-branded assets and dedicated partner portal for seamless integration and branding
The program has already received strong endorsements from early adopters within the Horizon3.ai ecosystem.
“This is one of the most strategic partner programs we’ve seen in cybersecurity,” said Marc Brungardt, President and Co-Founder at Foresite Cybersecurity, a Horizon3.ai Partner. “NodeZero gives us a unique edge in proving impact to our clients. Vanguard gives us the structure and support to turn those assessments into revenue-generating services—from remediation and SOC consulting to GRC reporting and vCISO advisories. It’s enabled us to grow faster and deepen client trust.”
Through Vanguard, partners can evolve beyond traditional, point-in-time penetration testing to deliver end-to-end security solutions across assessment, remediation, defense, and advisory services. Whether offering compliance audits, real-time detection via NodeZero Tripwires™, or strategic consulting enabled by NodeZero Insights™, partners are equipped to become trusted security advisors and unlock new revenue opportunities.
