Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) from Horizon3.ai is a vulnerability management approach that prioritizes vulnerabilities based on actual exploitability rather than traditional CVE-based scoring. The platform uses the NodeZero autonomous pentesting system to continuously assess and validate which vulnerabilities pose real risk to an organization's environment. The solution performs internal, external, cloud, and Kubernetes penetration testing to identify exploitable attack paths. It validates vulnerabilities through actual exploitation attempts rather than relying solely on theoretical risk scores. The platform provides threat-informed perspectives by incorporating threat actor intelligence and vulnerability risk intelligence. RBVM integrates with existing vulnerability management workflows through a Vulnerability Management Hub. It identifies high-value targets within the network and tests for advanced data pilfering scenarios. The platform includes security control validation capabilities for endpoint security, identity security, and data security effectiveness. The system supports compliance requirements including PCI and NIS 2 through automated testing. It offers Active Directory security assessment and password auditing capabilities. The platform includes tripwire functionality for threat detection and response, allowing organizations to set up honeypot-like detection mechanisms. RBVM provides rapid response testing for newly disclosed vulnerabilities, including CISA KEV exploitation validation. The solution is available in different packages and includes a federal-specific version (NodeZero Federal) for government use cases.
