Summary In this insightful episode, Marc Schein interviews Snehal Antani, the CEO and co-founder of Horizon3.ai, about his entrepreneurial journey, the evolution of his company, and the future of cybersecurity. Snehal shares how Horizon3.ai grew from a handful of engineers working in a basement to a cutting-edge firm revolutionizing autonomous penetration testing. He walks listeners through the different startup phases, emphasizing how critical it is to develop a repeatable sales process, retain customers, and build operational excellence at scale. Snehal discusses the complex challenge of preserving organizational culture during rapid growth, highlighting mistakes made during their first hyper-growth phase and the importance of investing in strong, well-indoctrinated management. He explains how a thoughtful approach to onboarding managers as cultural ambassadors ultimately led to a more stable, scalable team. He offers a candid perspective on venture funding—detailing both the pitfalls of dealing with inexperienced investors and the value of bringing on seasoned operators as board mentors. Snehal uses his experience with crises, including the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the loss of his father, to underline the importance of developing "muscle memory" within leadership teams. He compares this to special operations units, where preparation and planning allow for excellence under pressure. The episode shifts into technical terrain with a compelling explanation of autonomous penetration testing. Snehal shares how Horizon3.ai developed a system capable of autonomously discovering vulnerabilities and compromising environments without human input—essentially transforming cyber warfare into an algorithmic domain. He compares pen testing to chess, where well-defined opening and closing moves are followed by dynamic midgames. Finally, Snehal forecasts a future in which cyberattacks will be AI-powered and nearly instantaneous. He warns that most current defensive tools are designed for human-centered responses, which will soon be obsolete. As evidence, he cites Horizon3.ai's autonomous agent compromising a bank in under five minutes—twice as fast as the previous year. He predicts the first deepseek-enabled cyberattack within 90 days, calling it a wake-up call for the industry. Key Points Startup Phases: Snehal outlines the four key startup phases: building value, repeatable sales, scaling operations, and achieving operational excellence. Culture During Hypergrowth: The key to scaling culture is hiring the right management and giving them time to assimilate before they scale their teams. Autonomous Pen Testing: Horizon3.ai's agent can autonomously discover and exploit vulnerabilities without human involvement. Crisis Leadership: True leadership is tested during crises; muscle memory and planning are essential for executive teams. AI-Powered Cyber Threats: Snehal predicts that the next wave of cyberattacks will be powered by open-weight AI models capable of adaptive exploitation. Key Quotes "You want to build that muscle memory as a CEO as early as possible… so you can stack excellence upon excellence." "PowerPoint is cheap. YouTube videos are cheap. Let our results do the talking." "My primary competitor is mediocre consultants." "Every defensive tool in the market today is designed for humans at the center—and every one of them will be rendered obsolete." "The future of cyber warfare will be algorithms versus algorithms, and humans by exception." About Our Guest Snehal Antani is the CEO and co-founder of Horizon3.ai, a pioneering cybersecurity company that leverages artificial intelligence to autonomously conduct penetration testing. Before founding Horizon3, Snehal served as the first Chief Technology Officer for the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), where he was instrumental in leading initiatives in data analytics, cloud/edge computing,

In this episode we sit down with the Founder/CEO of Horizon3.ai to discuss disrupting the Pen Testing and Offensive Security ecosystem, and building and scaling a security startup - from a founders perspective.From HP, to Splunk to JSOC - all leading to founding Horizon3, Snehal brings a unique perspective of business acumen and technical depth and puts on a masterclass around venture, founding and scaling a team and disrupting the industry!---- For those not familiar with your background who Horizon3AI, can you tell us a bit about both?You are building something special at Horizon3AI and I will dive into that here soon, but you've also been posting some great content about building a security startup, the team, the market dynamics and more, so I wanted to spend a little time chatting about that. - First off, your company was recently listed by Forbes as one of the top 25 venture backed startups likely to reach a $1 billion dollar valuation. How did that feel and what do you think contributed to your team landing on such a prestigious list?- Speaking of venture backed, you recently participated in the Innovators and Investors Summit at BlackHat where you and other panelists dove into the topic of what founders should look for in investors and how VC's can stand out in a highly competitive market. As someone who's navigated that journey and is now being listed on lists such as that from Forbes - what are some of your key lessons learned and recommendations for early-stage founders?- You've stressed the importance of the team over the initial idea and what you've called "pace setters" and "ankle weights" within the team and the importance of both. Can you elaborate on the terms and broader context around building a foundational team to scale the company successfully?- You also have discussed the 4 advantages iconic companies build over time, what are they and why do they help differentiate you?- Pivoting a bit, you have a really unique background, blending both the private and public/defense sector. How do you think that's helped shape you and the way you've build your team and company and approach the market?- Horizon3AI is big on the mantra of "offense informed defense". Why is that critical and why do you think we miss the value in this approach in many spaces in the security ecosystem?- You all have poked some fun at the way many organizations operate, running vuln scans, doing an annual pen test, and having a false sense of security. How is Horizon3AI disrupting the traditional Pen Testing space and leading to more secure organizational outcomes?
In 7 Minutes on ITSPmagazine Short Brand Story recorded on location during Black Hat USA 2024, Sean Martin had a fascinating conversation with Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-Founder of Horizon3.ai. The discussion revolved around the innovative strides Horizon3.ai is making in autonomous penetration testing and continuous security posture management.Snehal Antani shared his journey from being a CIO to founding Horizon3.ai, highlighting the critical gaps in traditional security measures that led to the inception of the company. The main focus at Horizon3.ai is to continuously verify security postures through autonomous penetration testing, essentially enabling organizations to "hack themselves" regularly to stay ahead of potential threats. Antani explained the firm's concept of “go hack yourself,” which emphasizes continuous penetration testing. This approach ensures that security vulnerabilities are identified and addressed proactively rather than reacting after an incident occurs.A significant portion of the discussion centered around the differentiation between application and infrastructure penetration testing. While application pen testing remains a uniquely human task due to the need for identifying logic flaws in custom code, infrastructure pen testing can be effectively managed by algorithms at scale. This division allows Horizon3.ai to implement a human-machine teaming workflow, optimizing the strengths of both.Antani likened its functionality to installing ring cameras while conducting a pen test, creating an early warning network through the deployment of honey tokens. These tokens are fake credentials and sensitive command tokens designed to attract attackers, triggering alerts when accessed. This early warning system helps organizations build a high signal, low noise alert mechanism, enhancing their ability to detect and respond to threats swiftly.Antani emphasized that Horizon3.ai is not just a pen testing company but a data company. The data collected from each penetration test provides valuable telemetry that improves algorithm accuracy and offers insights into an organization's security posture over time. This data-centric approach allows Horizon3.ai to help clients understand and articulate their security posture's evolution.A compelling example highlighted in the episode involved a CISO from a large chip manufacturing company who utilized Horizon3.ai's rapid response capabilities to address a potential vulnerability swiftly. The CISO was able to identify, test, fix, and verify the resolution of a critical exploit within two hours, showcasing the platform's efficiency and effectiveness.The conversation concluded with a nod to the practical benefits such innovations bring, encapsulating the idea that effective use of Horizon3.ai's tools not only promotes better security outcomes but also enables security teams to perform their roles more efficiently, potentially even getting them home earlier.Learn more about Horizon3.ai: https://itspm.ag/horizon3ai-bh23Note: This story contains promotional content.

Incredibly, the seemingly simple task of managing corporate-owned devices is still a struggle for most organizations in 2023. Maybe best MDM for Mac doesn't work with Windows, or the best MDM for Windows doesn't work with Mac. Maybe neither have Linux support. Perhaps they don't provide enough insight into the endpoint, or control over it. Whatever the case, security leaders never seem satisfied with their MDM solution and are always investigating new ones. Now, Kolide has stepped in with a unique approach to device management, combining the flexibility and industry support for OSQuery and built to integrate with IdP giant Okta.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Syed Alam, High Tech Industry Global Lead at Accenture, examines the connection and integration of digital twins in an “industrial metaverse,” and how companies and engineers can get started creating their own factory floor metaverse.Next, we're exploring the exploited Apache Superset Data Visualization & Exploration Tool, popularized on GitHub and uncovered by the Horizon3.ai research team, in our Exploited series. How did this happen? I'll give you a hint, the attackers used a SECRET_KEY. But first, the Insiders discuss the widely-discussed, used, and anticipated growth of the artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT. Released in November 2022, the chatbot has now spanned across various industries, which further raises concerns surrounding AI and how it is impacting government, education, and multiple business sectors. But is it for better or for worse?

NodeZero is a product that enables the channel to really take advantage of the security threats highlighted by the pandemic. This real-time continuously on autonomous pentesting and continuously learning AI technology proactively identifies and fixes internal and external attack vectors before attackers can exploit them. Jennifer Lee The best part of this technology is that it is only sold through the channel. Horizon3.ai wants to continue developing the channel and is looking for national partners as well. Benefits include: Deal protection and increased margins New Partner Certification Trainings Sales and Technical Resources New Incentives Marketing Opportunities Listen in to Jennifer Lee as she provides a very good overview of the product and the channel. This is one product you will want to add to your portfolio! Autonomous pentesting enables organizations to see themselves through the eyes of the attacker. With this attacker's perspective, enterprises can continuously identify their ineffective security controls and identify critical, exploitable weaknesses that they must immediately fix. However, autonomous pentesting is only part of the equation. Their larger vision is to leverage their expertise, data, and insights to build an autonomous defense designed to be humans by exception. They will deliver continuous attack, paired with continuous defense–executing an integrated learning loop that gets smarter with every interaction, delivered as an Autonomous Security Platform. The Cyber Terrain Map, the knowledge graph at the heart of Horizon3.ai's autonomous pentesting platform, is the critical data structure required to build autonomous security. With every pentest executed, these knowledge graphs get smarter – increasing its understanding of how an attacker can chain together harvested credentials, misconfigurations, dangerous product defaults, and exploitable vulnerabilities to compromise a system. Collective intelligence services analyze these insights and further optimize the attack algorithms. Thus, the more autonomous pentests they run, the richer their collective intelligence becomes, which leads to more efficient & effective attack algorithms.

In this episode, Snehal Antani, CEO at Horizon3, joins us to discuss the journey from business idea to successful business operations. It all begins with identifying a niche enough problem that you can provide a unique solution, yet one that's widespread enough that enough people need your unique solution. From there, it's deeply about storytelling. You have to tell a compelling and layered story about your product and build cohesion in brand voice and problem-solving. Once a customer is drawn in by a story, then, they need to be sold on credibility. So the next phase of storytelling involves the right storytellers - brand ambassadors and salespeople with industry cred - and the right audience. Do the people you're telling these stories fit your criteria?We also talk about scaling sales and all that entails. You can't be the only run pitching and driving, or you hit a plateau. So how you set others up in your company to learn the ropes and keep on telling those important stories is going to play a big part in your future growth.How do you tell your product's story? How are you getting in front of - and connecting with - the right customers? What are your plans to scale and are you prioritizing consistency? We address all these questions and more in today's episode.If you are a sales leader at a startup, or you're in the sales team, and you're searching for your repeatable scalable sales process to grow sales faster, then please get in touch with me at andrew@unstoppable.do or you can also go to my site at www.unstoppable.do.Sign up for our newsletter (https://www.salesbluebird.com)We want your questions and topic suggestions for future episodes.

All links and images for this episode can be found on CISO Series CISOs agree that multi-factor authentication is the one security control that once deployed has the greatest impact to reduce security issues. Yet with all that agreement, it's still so darn hard to get users to actually use it. This week's episode is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series and Mike Johnson. Our guest is Arvind Raman (@arvind78), CISO, Mitel. Huge thanks to our sponsor, Horizon3.ai See your enterprise through the eyes of the attacker, identify your ineffective security controls, and ensure your limited resources are spent fixing problems that can actually be exploited.
