Horizon3.ai Secures Investment from Prosperity7 Ventures to Protect AI Datacenters and Critical Infrastructure

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Horizon3.ai, the leading provider of offensive security solutions, today announced an investment from Prosperity7 Ventures, the diversified venturing fund of Aramco Ventures. The partnership underscores a shared priority to safeguard the AI datacenters and critical infrastructure that support the global economy.

As AI adoption accelerates, the datacenters powering these systems have become high-value targets for adversaries. Horizon3.ai’s NodeZero® Offensive Security Platform shows how attackers can break in, whether existing controls can stop them, and the real impact an attacker could have, from stealing intellectual property to triggering ransomware events. This investment will further advance Horizon3.ai’s mission to secure AI infrastructure and other operationally critical environments where continuous, attacker-aligned testing is essential.

Government agencies and policy experts warn that AI-driven infrastructure is expanding the global attack surface, creating new avenues to disrupt essential services and economic stability. A recent public report on the first known autonomous, AI-orchestrated cyber-espionage campaign underscores how quickly adversaries are weaponizing these capabilities. Securing AI datacenters and critical infrastructure is now a strategic, global imperative.

“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.”

“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.”

Horizon3.ai’s momentum continues to accelerate. Nearly 5,000 organizations worldwide rely on NodeZero to harden their environments, including leaders in healthcare, energy, national security, and semiconductor manufacturing. The investment follows the launch of Threat Informed Perspectives, a new capability that measures an organization’s breach containment strength across identity, cloud, and segmented networks.
