Strategic investments from EDBI and SG Growth Capital to support regional growth and continuous, evidence‑based cyber resilience

SINGAPORE, October 19, 2026--Horizon3, the AI-native proactive security leader, today announced a strategic expansion in Singapore, supported by new investments from EDBI and its parent SG Growth Capital, the strategic investment platform established by the Singapore Economic Development Board and Enterprise Singapore to support companies from early to growth stages. This expansion is to meet accelerating demand across Southeast Asia for continuous, evidence‑based security validation as AI‑driven cyberattacks escalate in speed, scale and sophistication.

Horizon3 is establishing its ASEAN headquarters and a Regional Centre of Excellence in Singapore, to support its expansion across Australia and Japan as well. The company will also increase its local headcount as it scales its sales, customer and partner operations.

The Singapore expansion follows Horizon3's US$250 million Series E funding round announced in August 2026, which valued the company at more than US$2 billion.

The expansion aligns with Singapore's national cybersecurity priorities and the broader regional shift from periodic assessments to continuous proof of cyber resilience. Singapore's Cyber Security Agency (CSA) said in its 2025/2026 Singapore Cyber Landscape report that AI is increasingly being used by threat actors to conduct attacks with greater speed, scale and sophistication, while infected infrastructure in Singapore rose 142% in 2025 to 284,300 systems.

From periodic testing to continuous security validation

As AI and digital environments become more complex, organisations need to know which vulnerabilities can actually be exploited and what an attacker can reach. Horizon3's NodeZero autonomously validates attack paths, provides remediation guidance and retests to verify fixes, giving security teams continuous, evidence-based visibility into real-world exposure.

"Singapore's regulatory and national cybersecurity agenda signals a broader shift across the region: boards can no longer rely on confidence or compliance checklists; they must be able to prove cyber resilience and prove they are prepared for AI-enabled cyber warfare," said Snehal Antani, CEO and co‑founder of Horizon3. "Our expansion in Singapore, supported by EDBI and SG Growth Capital, positions Horizon3 at the centre of Southeast Asia's digital economy, where we can work closely with customers and partners to move from periodic assessments to continuous, attacker‑validated proof of resilience. As AI compresses attack timelines from months to hours, the strategic question for security leaders is not how many vulnerabilities they have, but whether they can continuously validate what is actually exploitable and verify that remediation has reduced business risk."
