Horizon3.ai has announced an investment from Prosperity7 Ventures, the diversified venturing fund of Aramco Ventures, positioning the funding as support for securing AI data centers and critical infrastructure. Horizon3.ai says the investment will further advance its mission to secure AI infrastructure and other operationally critical environments where continuous, attacker-aligned testing is required.

According to Horizon3.ai, its NodeZero Offensive Security Platform is designed to show how attackers can break in, whether existing controls can stop them, and the potential impact of a breach, including intellectual property theft and ransomware events. The company also frames AI-powered data centers as high-value targets as AI adoption accelerates.

The press release also points to public-sector concern about the expanding attack surface tied to AI-driven infrastructure. It references a recent public report on “the first known autonomous, AI-orchestrated cyber-espionage campaign” as an example of how adversaries are using these capabilities, and it describes securing AI data centers and critical infrastructure as a strategic 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.”

Horizon3.ai reports that nearly 5,000 organizations use NodeZero, including organizations in healthcare, energy, national security, and semiconductor manufacturing. The company also says the investment follows the launch of Threat Informed Perspectives, which it describes as a capability that measures an organization’s breach containment strength across identity, cloud, and segmented networks.
