The company reports having run 310,000 production security tests with zero disruptions and serves roughly 7,200–7,300 customers ranging from managed service providers to Fortune 10 enterprises. Horizon3 approached $100 million in annual recurring revenue last year and achieved 120% year-over-year growth. Its founders, who met while serving at Joint Special Operations Command, have reinvested heavily in product development—about $100 million in R&D to date. The company is expanding internationally with new offices and a growing partner network while positioning itself to address accelerating AI-driven attack threats.
