Case Study: a multinational industrial organization improves OT/IT risk visibility with Fox-IT and Horizon3.ai NodeZero

Multinational Industrial Organization maps risk across 100,000 assets with Fox-IT

A multinational industrial organization faced the challenge of scaling its global annual penetration testing program across hundreds of IT and OT network segments. Previous assessments relied heavily on vulnerability scanning, which limited confidence in the true exploitability of issues and left uncertainty around real-world impact. The organization engaged Fox-IT to overcome these scaling and visibility challenges.

Fox-IT implemented a hybrid solution combining the NodeZero autonomous penetration testing platform with expert-led testing. This approach efficiently scaled the testing across the global estate, providing validated proof-of-concept results and unprecedented visibility into OT risk. The program tested over 100,000 assets, produced highly meaningful findings that had gone undiscovered for 20 years, and delivered a scalable model that exceeded budget expectations.
