Horizon3.ai, the AI-Native Proactive Security Company behind NodeZero®, today announced that NodeZero has achieved “Awardable” status through the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace (TSM).

The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of the Department of War (DoW) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO). It serves as a digital environment of post-competition video pitches designed to accelerate the procurement of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML), digital, and data solutions across government agencies.

NodeZero enables organizations to continuously hack, fix, verify, and repeat testing across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. By safely performing real-world attacks across production environments, NodeZero helps organizations uncover exploitable attack paths, validate defenses, verify fixes, and strengthen cyber resilience through production-safe attack operations.

FedRAMP® High authorized, NodeZero is trusted by global enterprises, critical infrastructure operators, and government organizations around the world to proactively identify exploitable weaknesses before adversaries can take advantage of them.

“Modern defense requires continuous validation,” said Corey Brunkow, Director of Federal Operations at Horizon3.ai. “Security teams cannot rely on assumptions, static assessments, or theoretical risk scores. Organizations need to know what can actually be exploited in their environments right now. NodeZero helps mission teams continuously validate defenses through safe, real-world attack operations that strengthen resilience before attackers strike.”

Horizon3.ai’s solution was evaluated by a peer panel of government, industry, and academic subject matter experts, successfully demonstrating its technical merit and alignment with the marketplace’s strategic focus areas. Because video solutions housed within the marketplace are assessed through competitive procedures that conform to the competition requirements of 10 USC 4021, 10 USC 4022, 10 USC 3458, FAR/DFARS Part 35, and DFARS Subpart 212.70, Horizon3.ai’s NodeZero is readily available to be viewed, selected, negotiated, and awarded by DoW activities without further competition.

Government customers interested in viewing the solution, or communicating directly with Horizon3.ai, can create an account on the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace at www.tradewindai.com.
