World Wide Technology announced an alliance with proactive security provider Horizon3. Consequently, the partnership aims to redefine defense frameworks across the complex AI Era. The companies launched a joint Mythos Infrastructure Readiness Assessment. This solution enables enterprises to pressure-test their systems against rapid machine-speed attacks.
Operationalizing AI-Native Threat Validation
Cyberattacks now move across enterprise networks at unprecedented speeds. Recent research from Horizon3 highlights a concerning gap in defense strategies. Specifically, only 30% of organizations test real-world exploitability after patching vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, almost half rely merely on passive vulnerability scanning.
Therefore, World Wide Technology selected Horizon3’s NodeZero platform to deliver real-time security validation. The platform maps exploitable attack paths across cloud, hybrid, and identity environments. More than 5,500 organizations currently trust NodeZero to validate critical defenses. As enterprises adopt automated tools in this AI Era, continuous assessment replaces periodic compliance exercises.
“Every major technology shift redefines infrastructure and resilience, and the AI era demands a complete rewrite of the security playbook,” said Jim Kavanaugh, Co-Founder and CEO, World Wide Technology. “As our customers face machine-speed, AI-driven threats, they can no longer rely on static defense strategies. Horizon3’s autonomous validation capabilities perfectly complement WWT’s consulting and architecture expertise. Together, scaled through our Advanced Technology Center (ATC) and global managed services, we are helping enterprises move from assumptions to definitive evidence, ensuring their operational defenses perform exactly as intended.”
Furthermore, the Mythos assessment delivers actionable briefings for executive boards. CISOs receive prioritized remediation roadmaps tied directly to actual business risks. This evidence-based model helps leadership protect modern enterprise architecture throughout the AI Era.
“In the AI versus AI era, it’s now even harder to decide what NOT to fix. Just because you’re vulnerable doesn’t mean you’re exploitable, you could have a compensating control in place that disrupts the attack chain. Viewing yourself through the eyes of an attacker using comprehensive pentesting is the best way to ensure your teams are fixing problems that are truly exploitable, known to be used by threat actors, and that will lead to a business consequence. With that information you can clearly articulate to leadership what the risk is whether to adjust resources or accept that risk,” said Snehal Antani, CEO, Horizon3. “By partnering with a global powerhouse like WWT we are giving defenders the upper hand by transforming how the world’s largest organizations prioritize risk and operationalize cyber resilience at scale.”
