Horizon3.ai Gains FedRAMP High Authorization, Delivering on Its Commitment to Secure the Public Sector
Horizon3.ai, the global leader in offensive security, today announced it has gained Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) High Authorization, unlocking the ability to support even the most security-sensitive federal missions. This milestone fulfills Horizon3.ai's previously announced commitment to bring proof-based security to government agencies operating at the highest levels of compliance and risk exposure.
Horizon3.ai's newly authorized platform, NodeZero Federal™, is now available to federal agencies under the FedRAMP High baseline. Built upon the proven commercial version of the NodeZero® Offensive Security Platform, NodeZero Federal™ is designed specifically to meet the heightened security and compliance demands of government environments. With this authorization in place, Horizon3.ai becomes the first and only cybersecurity vendor authorized to deliver continuous, autonomous pentesting within this strict regulatory framework.
'We built NodeZero to help defenders find and fix vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them—and with the FedRAMP High authorization, we're now able to proactively secure critical federal systems,' said Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-founder of Horizon3.ai. 'Our roots are in National Security, and with cyber warfare evolving at an unprecedented pace, we're committed to improving the cyber resilience of the nation's digital infrastructure, with support for Secret and Top Secret systems as our next major focus areas.'
This authorization builds on Horizon3.ai's success with Federal partners, such as the NSA Cybersecurity Collaboration Center (CCC) program. As part of CCC, Horizon3.ai powers the NSA's Continuous Autonomous Penetration Testing (CAPT) program, where Defense Industrial Base (DIB) suppliers use NodeZero to act as nation-state-level adversaries, identify and prioritize real attack paths, and continuously validate their defenses.
'With our FedRAMP High authorization, critical suppliers and federal agencies can verify and improve their cybersecurity posture, ensuring that limited resources are focused on fixing problems that truly matter,' said Matt Hartley, CRO at Horizon3.ai. 'These agencies can find, fix, and verify the remediation of CISA Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities (KEV) at scale, ensure their security operations center is effectively detecting and stifling attacks, and that security tools are tuned correctly. Offense drives defense, and no one knows this better than our US Federal customers.'
NodeZero Federal helps agencies streamline compliance with key cybersecurity mandates, including NIST SP 800-53—the foundational control framework behind FedRAMP—as well as evolving OMB policies and Executive Orders that require Zero Trust architecture, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 for supply chain assurance, and participation in Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) programs.

PLTR: Wedbush Sees Palantir Hitting $200 as AI Momentum Turns Explosive
Aug 5 - Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) just delivered another standout quarter, beating expectations on both revenue and outlook. The company's surging momentum in AI continues to impress, and analysts are taking notice. Wedbush reiterated its Outperform rating on the stock and lifted its price target from $160 to $200, citing explosive demand for Palantir's AI products. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with WBD. Leading the charge is Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), which has seen massive traction, especially in the U.S. commercial segment. That division posted 93% year-over-year growth and now accounts for over 30% of total revenue. Notably, U.S. Commercial Total Contract Value surged 222% to $843 million, while overall contract value climbed 141% to $2.79 billion. Wedbush analysts, led by Daniel Ives, believe Palantir is positioned to become a trillion-dollar company as it evolves into the next Oracle (ORCL) of the AI era. With faster deal cycles and expanding enterprise demand, Palantir looks well-prepared to ride the AI revolution long-term. As AI adoption accelerates, Palantir continues gaining enterprise trust with its robust solutions, and Wall Street is clearly bullish on where this momentum leads.

SB Nation redesigns sites as Vox Media readies for Google Zero
SB Nation, one of the highest traffic brands within the Vox Media portfolio, has redesigned its website and its dozens of niche sports fan websites to include a new community content section called "The Feed," Vox Media president of revenue and growth Ryan Pauley told Axios. Why it matters: The redesign, which places user and fan content alongside SB Nation's professionally created content, is meant to help the brand recapture engagement that occurs on external social media feeds instead of its sites. It also gives SB Nation, which relies on traffic-based ad revenue, to hedge against the decline of Google Search referrals in the AI era. SB Nation operates 185 active sports fan communities, each with their own distinct websites and branding, that generate over a million user comments per month. Zoom in: The redesign, which launched Tuesday, is meant to put a larger emphasis on community content in a brand safe way that will still appeal to advertisers, Pauley said. Posts in "The Feed" are meant to be more interactive than a standard website. They will feature questions and prompts for users to further engage in conversations, embedded social media posts and links to news stories from other outlets. It also includes a new feature that allows logged in, registered users who engage heavily with the new community features to have a lighter and more streamlined advertising experience. Zoom out: The SB Nation redesign is part of a broader push by Vox Media to hedge against AI's impact on search traffic, especially from Google. The Verge, Vox Media's tech news site, last month released new site features that allow readers to directly follow its journalists and topics in a personalized feed on its homepage. It also launched a new suite of newsletters. NY Mag, the company's preeminent subscription news site, is also leaning more heavily into newsletters and direct-to-consumer products, Pauley said. Eater, Vox Media's food recommendations site, is leveraging AI to optimize search within its site for users looking to dine with special requests. Yes, but: Because each one of Vox Media's dozen plus brands has a very different identify and use case, the solution for each site will look very different and custom, per Pauley. "It is incumbent on each brand to develop their own strategy for what's the best way to get loyal audiences to come back more frequently," Pauley said. "Some of which will be through paid channels, some of it will be through non-paid experiences." The big picture: Vox Media is one of the few remaining independent media holding groups that hasn't been sold or broken up. The company has focused on profitability as a way of controlling its own destiny, and has deprioritized certain businesses in response to market trends. As of February, the company's CEO Jim Bankoff said he wasn't eyeing an exit for the firm, which has raised over $400 million since 2009. Vox Media was last valued at $500 million in 2023, when it raised $100 million from Penske Media Corp. What to watch: Outside of its websites, Vox Media has found success in building a robust podcast talent network, which has helped hedge against social media and search platform shifts.
