Case Study: LYT achieves secure, future-proof smart-city traffic management with Horizon3.ai's NodeZero

LYT - Customer Case Study

LYT, a cloud software company that uses connected-vehicle and machine-learning technology to optimize city traffic and emergency response, faced a critical challenge: proving and maintaining the security of its integrations with municipal traffic infrastructure. CTO Dustin Harber emphasized that security is his top concern because LYT runs on city infrastructure and must assure municipalities and other vendors that their systems won’t introduce risk. To address this need, LYT turned to Horizon3.ai and its NodeZero platform for continuous, third‑party penetration testing.

Horizon3.ai’s NodeZero provided a repeatable, easy-to-run pentesting solution that non-DevOps staff can operate in minutes, with shareable, detailed reports and quarterly testing workflows. The tooling helped LYT identify and remediate vulnerabilities faster, delivered evidence of security to stakeholders, and—according to LYT—reduced testing time by about 90% compared with alternative approaches. By using Horizon3.ai, LYT improved its security posture, sped remediation, and strengthened customer and municipal trust.
