About the company
Horizon is a San Francisco–based software platform powered by artificial intelligence that transforms the way organizations generate and execute insights. Unlike traditional consulting firms, which rely on limited interviews and deliver static reports after weeks or even months, Horizon provides continuous 24/7 support. Its technology enables problem diagnosis up to 90 times faster, offers real-time visibility, and supports the agile implementation of solutions.
Leading companies in banking, insurance, retail, and e-commerce trust Horizon to augment their internal teams—freeing experts to focus on strategy while the platform handles advanced analytics and automated data discovery.
A regulated market that demands absolute trust
According to McKinsey (2023):
“The fintech ecosystem in Latin America is expected to surpass US$200 billion in annual revenues by 2025.”
Horizon works with enterprise clients in highly regulated sectors such as banking, financial services, insurance, e-commerce, and retail. In these markets, security and regulatory compliance are not optional—they are essential requirements for operating.
By handling large volumes of user interactions, Horizon processes sensitive information such as personal data and customer behavior patterns. This dynamic makes the company an attractive target for potential cyberattacks that could compromise both customer trust and operational continuity.
Faced with this scenario, Horizon recognized the importance of strengthening its cybersecurity controls and undergoing specialized penetration testing to validate the resilience of its platform against real-world threats. Their goal was not only to meet compliance standards like SOC 2, but also to assure clients that their platform is equipped to protect sensitive data under the industry's highest benchmarks.
How Horizon strengthened its security with Strike
Horizon was already familiar with Strike’s track record in the market, and several of its clients had previously worked with our services—giving them confidence that our team could perform a deep and thorough assessment of their platform.
As part of the SOC 2 certification process, Horizon needed to conduct a comprehensive pentest of its entire platform—one of the key controls required to validate the strength of its security measures. Their requirements were highly specific and detailed, and the Strike team successfully adapted to each of these needs.
From the very beginning, Horizon highlighted the closeness and adaptability of our Strikers (ethical hackers), who aligned with their operational context and delivered high-value results.
An expert team that makes a real difference
The assigned ethical hackers demonstrated a high level of professionalism and technical expertise, delivering relevant and actionable findings within agile timelines.
Horizon emphasized the quality of the support and the proximity of the engagement, which reinforced their confidence in the process and underscored the added value of working with top-tier cybersecurity specialists.
