Horizon3 is proven for infrastructure and network red teaming, but its web app testing is new, its exploits are deterministic, and it has no proprietary AI stack. Novee is built for the application layer and chains business logic like an attacker.
Strong infrastructure coverage doesn’t secure the application layer, where most breaches actually start and the business logic hides.
No proprietary offensive model.
Web app testing is still new.
Lighter validation for web apps.
Siloed from the tools devs use.
No closed loop on the fix.
Application-layer security is only as strong as what it finds in your business logic, how confidently you can act, and whether the fix holds.
A proprietary offensive AI stack.
Validation built for zero false positives.
A closed loop to a verified fix.
Built into your workflow.
Predictable per-asset pricing.
Full application-layer coverage.
| Capability | Novee AI Pentesting | Horizon3 |
|---|---|---|
| Testing depth | Reasons through your application and chains business logic flaws into real attack paths, the way a human attacker would. |
Infrastructure and network exploitation only. Deterministic execution finds known vulnerability classes but can’t adapt to novel business logic. |
| Coverage | Web apps, APIs, mobile apps, and AI agents/LLMs across your external footprint. |
Infrastructure and network. Web application testing is Early Access; no mobile or AI app testing. |
| Offensive AI stack | Proprietary offensive reasoning model, post-trained on real attacker tradecraft and orchestrated using a proprietary harness with best-in-class frontier models selected per task (multi-model). Optimized with every recurring test cycle. |
No proprietary model. Scopes third-party general-purpose LLMs to specific exploit decisions; the capability ceiling is set by those models. |
| Validation architecture | Three independent agents (a finder, a validator, and a blind re-validator with no shared context) plus deterministic checks where possible. If any stage fails, the finding is never reported. |
Deterministic validation for infrastructure, no independent multi-agent architecture for web app testing. |
| Closed-loop remediation & retesting | Remediation tailored to your WAF, backend, and codebase, not generic OWASP. Automatic retesting confirms the fix held and flags new risk the change introduced. |
No stack-specific remediation and no automatic retesting. |
| Compounding application context | Builds an Asset Intelligence Model of roles, workflows, APIs, and business logic that deepens every cycle. |
Each run is scoped independently; context does not compound across runs. |
| Continuous, change-triggered testing | Runs on demand or automatically when code ships via CI/CD. No scheduling, tokens, or human intervention. |
Continuous for infrastructure; no change-triggered testing for web applications. |
| Workflow and CI/CD Integration | Native CI/CD and change-triggered workflows, plus Jira and GitHub. Fixes drop to the code level, aligned to your codebase. |
Integrates through a proprietary MCP only. No CI/CD, Jira, or GitHub integration. |
“As the leading agentic orchestration platform for the enterprise, data isolation between our customers is non-negotiable. We need to prove that continuously, not once a year. Novee adapted to our multi-tenant SaaS product within days.”
“Our pen tests took weeks and consistently missed critical issues. Novee found them immediately and gave us instant remediation guidance. It showed us what we'd been missing.”
"Traditional DAST produced either zero or irrelevant results. We needed something that could identify complex vulnerabilities like server-side request forgery. Novee consistently surfaces findings we simply weren't seeing before."
“Novee rethinks penetration testing for how attacks actually happen today. Continuous, attacker-level validation that proves what’s exploitable and shows teams exactly how to fix it is a meaningful shift for modern security programs.”
"The hardest vulnerabilities for us to catch aren’t misconfigurations or known patterns. They’re business logic issues that only show up when someone understands how the application is supposed to work. That’s exactly the gap Novee closes."
"We had EASM tools and manual pentests that produced mostly noise. Novee came in black-box with zero credentials and within days found dozens of real vulnerabilities we could actually fix."
“As an AI researcher, what stood out about Novee is that they built a proprietary offensive AI model designed to think like an attacker, rather than wrapping generic LLMs. That matters for enterprise-grade results.”
“This was by far the deepest and fastest security assessment we’ve had. Novee uncovered issues across our web and mobile applications that had gone undetected before, and the level of depth was unlike anything we’d seen from other vendors.”
“We had urgent compliance need and we couldn’t wait weeks for DAST findings, an external exposure audit, and an in-depth pentest report. Instead Novee came in and delivered immediate value with their AI pentesting platform; with their findings, we closed our gaps and quickly met the criteria we needed for certification.”
"Before Novee, we were getting a snapshot once a year. Now we have continuous coverage across our application portfolio, we're already finding things that prior manual pentests missed completely, and I have real confidence that our security posture reflects what's actually in our environment."
