Advanced Data Pilfering

Advanced Data Pilfering is a feature within the NodeZero autonomous penetration testing platform developed by Horizon3.ai. The capability focuses on testing an organization's ability to detect and prevent unauthorized data exfiltration by simulating real-world attack scenarios. The feature operates as part of NodeZero's autonomous pentesting capabilities, which include internal, external, Kubernetes, and cloud penetration testing. It validates data security controls by attempting to identify and exfiltrate sensitive information during security assessments. Advanced Data Pilfering integrates with NodeZero's broader risk-based vulnerability management approach, providing organizations with insights into how attackers might target and extract valuable data from their environments. The testing methodology aligns with threat-informed perspectives and high-value targeting strategies to identify critical data assets at risk. The platform supports multiple deployment scenarios including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Results are delivered through the NodeZero platform interface, providing security teams with actionable intelligence about data security gaps and remediation guidance. Organizations use this capability to validate data loss prevention controls, assess endpoint and identity security effectiveness, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements such as PCI DSS and NIS 2.
