Horizon3.ai, a leading innovator in offensive security, has announced a new strategic investment from Prosperity7 Ventures, the diversified venture capital arm of Aramco Ventures. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the security of AI datacenters and the critical infrastructure that increasingly underpins the global digital economy.
As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates across industries, the datacenters that power these technologies are rapidly becoming some of the most valuable and most targeted assets in the world. Attackers now view AI infrastructure as a high-impact entry point capable of enabling large-scale data theft, operational disruption, and ransomware campaigns. In response, Horizon3.ai is doubling down on its mission to help organizations continuously validate their defenses using an attacker’s perspective.
At the center of this effort is Horizon3.ai’s NodeZero Offensive Security Platform, which demonstrates exactly how adversaries can infiltrate an environment, whether existing safeguards can stop them, and what real-world consequences a successful breach could trigger. Rather than relying on theoretical risk models, NodeZero shows organizations where they are truly exposed whether that risk involves intellectual property theft, service outages, or large-scale ransomware events. With this new investment, Horizon3.ai plans to further expand its capabilities to protect AI infrastructure and other operationally critical systems where continuous, real-world testing is essential.

Meanwhile, government agencies and cybersecurity policy leaders continue to warn that AI-driven infrastructure is significantly expanding the global attack surface. As more nations and enterprises deploy AI at scale, adversaries are gaining new opportunities to disrupt essential services and undermine economic stability. Notably, a recent public report detailing the first known autonomous, AI-orchestrated cyber-espionage campaign highlights just how quickly threat actors are weaponizing these technologies. Consequently, securing AI datacenters and critical infrastructure has become not only a technical challenge, but a strategic global priority.
“AI datacenters and critical infrastructure are now front-line targets,” said Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-Founder of Horizon3.ai. “Prosperity7 Ventures recognizes the urgency. Their investment reinforces our approach: autonomous pentesting that produces evidence, not assumptions, so organizations can verify they’re truly harder to breach.”
Through this partnership, Horizon3.ai gains both capital and strategic backing to accelerate innovation in autonomous security testing. As a result, organizations operating complex and mission-critical environments will be better equipped to identify real attack paths before adversaries exploit them.

“Horizon3.ai is setting the pace for proactive cybersecurity,” said Abhishek Shukla, Managing Director at Prosperity7 Ventures US. “NodeZero’s ability to chain weaknesses into real attack paths and validate controls in live environments provides the measurable resilience that sectors like energy, healthcare, and government require. We are excited to support their continued growth.”
Importantly, Horizon3.ai’s growth trajectory continues to strengthen. Today, nearly 5,000 organizations worldwide rely on NodeZero to continuously harden their environments. These customers span highly sensitive sectors, including healthcare, energy, national security, and semiconductor manufacturing industries where downtime, data loss, or sabotage could have far-reaching consequences.
Furthermore, the investment follows the recent launch of Threat Informed Perspectives, a new capability that measures how effectively organizations can contain breaches across identity systems, cloud environments, and segmented networks. Together, these innovations reinforce Horizon3.ai’s focus on evidence-based security, continuous validation, and real-world resilience.
Ultimately, this strategic investment positions Horizon3.ai to play a pivotal role in securing the AI-powered infrastructure of the future where constant, attacker-aligned testing will be essential to protecting global operations and economic stability.
