NCC Group named Horizon3.ai Global Partner of the Year for second consecutive year

Manchester, UK - April 2026 - NCC Group has been recognised as Horizon3.ai’s Global Partner of the Year for the second year running, reinforcing the strength of a long-standing partnership focused on helping organisations understand and reduce real, exploitable cyber risk.

The award recognises NCC Group’s continued collaboration with Horizon3.ai to combine deep technical expertise with AI-native offensive security capabilities, enabling organisations to go beyond basic vulnerability discovery and continuously test what is genuinely exploitable across complex environments.

“NodeZero stands out because it applies AI in a way we can trust and scale,” said Jordan LaRose, Director, North America Delivery and Technical Lead at NCC Group.

“It enhances our proactive security capability today and enables new, continuous services that provide ongoing value and support long term assurance for our clients as vulnerability discovery accelerates.”

Together, NCC Group and Horizon3.ai work closely to help organisations move beyond surface-level security visibility to answer far more critical questions: which weaknesses can actually be exploited, how they connect across environments, and whether remediation efforts have measurably reduced real exposure?

This approach reflects a shared belief that security effectiveness should be defined not by the number of issues identified, but by whether those issues can be turned into impact, and whether organisations can prevent that outcome with confidence.

The Global Partner of the Year award follows NCC Group’s continued investment in industry collaboration, including active participation in Horizon3.ai’s partner community and advisory initiatives, helping shape how offensive security is delivered and scaled for modern organisations.
