Horizon3.ai today announced their partnership with FedHIVE, a cloud service offering for federal agencies, government contractors, and commercial organizations. FedHIVE, which holds an active Joint Authorization Board (JAB) Authorization to Operate (ATO) at the FedRAMP High level, is set to incorporate Horizon3.ai's NodeZero SaaS-based platform into their ATO framework.
The NodeZero autonomous penetration testing platform empowers the public and private sectors to continuously assess their exploitable attack surfaces. It is the flagship product of Horizon3.ai, founded in 2019 by former industry and U.S. National Security veterans. NodeZero helps organizations see their networks through the eyes of the attacker and proactively fix problems that truly matter, improve the effectiveness of their security initiatives, and ensure that they are prepared to respond to real cyberattacks.
FedHIVE was the first small business provider to secure FedRAMP High Impact Baseline ATO for its SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS capabilities. This collaboration will allow more federal organizations to utilize Horizon3.ai's NodeZero platform to view their environments from the attacker’s perspective, while adhering to the stringent requirements of federal customers.
"Adopting an attacker's viewpoint, acknowledging the inevitability of breaches, and regularly assessing the effectiveness of your security measures are critical for ensuring public sector security," stated Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-founder of Horizon3.ai. "Through our collaboration with FedHIVE, we are making NodeZero accessible to all government clients. This enables them to conduct FedRAMP-compliant, continuous cyber assessments of their sensitive computing and data storage systems, aligning with current and future regulatory standards that are now calling for continuous risk assessments."
The FedHIVE secure cloud service offering provides Government (Federal and State), Government Contractors and Commercial Customers a compliant, scalable, and secure IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS; enabling and supporting Governments’ mission platforms or software required for their business or mission success. FedHIVE is a Compliance company providing Compliance as a Service (CaaS), secure hosting, storage and processing service; intentionally designed to meet and exceed the FedRAMP High Impact Baseline and DoD Cloud Computing Security requirements.
"At FedHIVE, we specialize in Compliance as a Service for government contractors. Our FedRAMP High Impact Baseline Service provides a timely and cost-effective solution for both the Government and GovCon community," stated Michael Cardaci, CEO of FedHIVE. "Horizon3.ai shares our commitment to the principles of not just compliance for compliance’s sake, but prioritizing operational security for Government data, and our partnership with them underscores their dedication to making NodeZero available to public sector agencies that require FedRAMP High compliance."
