Horizon3.ai Partner Australia: Managed NodeZero Autonomous Pentesting
A Horizon3.ai MSP: CyberPulse runs continuous, autonomous penetration testing with NodeZero, the engine behind our Penetration Testing as a Service, verified by a local Australian team so you fix what attackers would actually exploit.
Horizon3.ai | CyberPulse
CyberPulse is a Horizon3.ai MSP, and Horizon3.ai NodeZero is the engine behind our Penetration Testing as a Service. A once-a-year penetration test is a snapshot, yet your environment changes every week, so NodeZero autonomously attacks your environment the way a real adversary would, safely and on demand, and we run it, verify the findings, and turn them into a prioritised fix list and evidence.
You get proof of what is actually exploitable, retesting to confirm fixes, and one accountable local team. Contact CyberPulse to discuss your Horizon3.ai requirements.

The Horizon3.ai Difference
Horizon3.ai NodeZero
Autonomous Penetration Testing
NodeZero runs safe, on-demand and continuous penetration testing across your environment, testing attack paths from both inside and outside your perimeter, and we run it and verify every finding.
Cloud, Identity and Phishing Testing
NodeZero tests cloud environments and misconfigurations, discovers credential and privilege-escalation paths across identity and Active Directory, and measures the real impact of compromised credentials through phishing impact testing, and we prioritise what matters.
Rapid Response and Insights
Rapid response testing validates your exposure to newly disclosed vulnerabilities fast, and NodeZero Insights reports trend and posture across testing over time, and we turn it into a prioritised fix list and evidence.

Contact UsFrequently Asked Questions
Is CyberPulse a Horizon3.ai partner?
Yes. CyberPulse is a Horizon3.ai MSP, and our Penetration Testing as a Service runs on Horizon3.ai NodeZero, interpreted and validated by our offensive security team.
How is autonomous pentesting different from a manual penetration test?
Autonomous testing with NodeZero runs continuously and on demand across your whole environment, while expert manual testing goes deep on specific targets. We use both, and autonomous testing adds frequency between manual engagements.
Is NodeZero safe to run in production?
Yes. NodeZero is designed to safely test production environments without causing disruption, and we scope and supervise every run.
Does Horizon3.ai help with the Essential Eight?
Yes. It validates control effectiveness and exposure across the Essential Eight and supports ISO 27001 and PCI DSS testing requirements.
Do you just run the tool, or interpret the results?
We interpret. Our offensive security team validates and prioritises findings and supports remediation and retesting.
How often should we test?
As often as your environment changes. Many organisations move from annual testing to continuous or monthly testing with NodeZero.
How quickly can you test for a new critical vulnerability?
Rapid response testing validates your exposure to newly disclosed vulnerabilities within hours, so you know if you are exploitable before attackers do.
Can this support a compliance or cyber-insurance requirement?
Yes. We provide audit-ready evidence of testing and control effectiveness for compliance frameworks and insurer requirements.
Do you replace our internal IT or security team?
No. We run and interpret NodeZero for you and support remediation, while your team keeps control and visibility.

What They Say About Us
The managed service model delivers that, while freeing my team from the bulk of compliance coordination effort and lifting the quality of both controls and supporting evidence. The outcome is a programme with the capacity to mature further and to take on new certification frameworks proactively, ahead of client and regulatory triggers.
What stands out is the depth of expertise. CyberPulse brings real command of the standards and the threat landscape, and applies it with judgement rather than box-ticking. Year on year they strengthen our security and compliance maturity and give leadership confidence that risk is genuinely understood, not just documented.
CyberPulse gave us clarity we didn't have before, not just on where we stood but a practical path forward. The roadmap they delivered has become the foundation of how we think about security investment.
Their guidance was practical, clear, and always grounded in what actually mattered for our business. They didn't just help us tick boxes; they helped us build a security posture we're genuinely proud of. If you're serious about enterprise-grade security, I can't recommend Cyber Pulse highly enough.
