Horizon3 has expanded its partnership with Pax8 to the European market, making its NodeZero platform available to managed service providers via the Pax8 Marketplace. This rollout follows the company’s existing operations in North America and its established EMEA headquarters in Amsterdam.
Why it matters
The expansion aims to provide European managed service providers with tools to deliver continuous testing and exposure reduction services. It marks a significant scaling effort for Horizon3, which now supports over 7,000 organizations globally.
Horizon3 currently serves a global user base of 7,000 organizations. The NodeZero platform is designed to autonomously execute real-world attack techniques across production environments to identify vulnerabilities.
The players
Horizon3
A cybersecurity firm that provides the NodeZero platform for autonomous penetration testing and exposure reduction.
Pax8
A cloud commerce marketplace that connects managed service providers with IT software and services.
The details
NodeZero functions by autonomously testing production environments using offensive security methodologies. Managed service providers use these automated routines to conduct initial vulnerability assessments and support ongoing remediation. The system is designed to help providers build continuous testing programs for their customers, moving away from point-in-time assessments.

The Tech Race
This move positions NodeZero as a standard tool for European managed service providers shifting toward continuous exposure management. It follows the precedent of Horizon3’s North American marketplace launch, aiming to capture the growing demand for autonomous security testing across EMEA.
European managed service providers can now access NodeZero directly through the Pax8 Marketplace to automate their security auditing workflows. This integration allows firms to offer continuous vulnerability assessment services without needing to build custom automated testing infrastructure.
The takeaway
The availability of NodeZero in Europe enables providers to standardize autonomous penetration testing for their clients. Watch for the next update in service adoption rates among European managed service providers to see if this platform achieves the same market penetration it reached in North America.
