Penetration Testing & Attack Simulation

RidgeBot

Autonomous pentesting that validates exploitability by chaining vulnerabilities into kill chains.

Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV)

RidgeBot Overview

What it does

RidgeBot is an Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) platform that runs autonomous penetration tests across IT, OT, and cloud environments, attacking them the way a real adversary would. Driven by the RidgeBrain expert model and a built-in exploit knowledge base, it works through a closed discover-exploit-report loop, chaining isolated weaknesses into complete kill chains rather than halting at a vulnerability scan. Only exposures it has successfully exploited reach the report, so each finding arrives as proven risk instead of a score to triage.

How it works

The platform operates two modes from a single console. Automated Penetration Testing performs agentless, black-box assessments (internal, external, authenticated, lateral-movement, web, and API), drawing on a large proof-of-concept exploit library and thousands of service fingerprints to map and visualize live attack paths. Adversary Cyber Emulation runs agent-based breach-and-attack simulations mapped to MITRE ATT&CK across endpoint, data-exfiltration, and Active Directory reconnaissance scenarios, scoring a block rate that pinpoints where detection and prevention controls fail. Tests run continuously or on schedule, and RidgeBot validates third-party scanner findings before forwarding confirmed results to SIEM and SOAR pipelines.

Credentials and traction

Ridge Security holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification, awarded in January 2026, covering its information security management system. RidgeBot was named a Sample Vendor for Adversarial Exposure Validation in the 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations, and Ridge Security scored a 95% willingness-to-recommend in the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Adversarial Exposure Validation. It counts organizations such as Tocumen International Airport among its customers.

Key Capabilities

mapped to solution categories
Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV)

Dynamically discovers and chains exposures (unpatched CVEs, misconfigurations, and credential weaknesses) into multi-step exploit paths without predefined scripts, sequencing weaknesses in the order an attacker would based on live environment state.

Safely exploits discovered weaknesses to produce empirical evidence of exploitability for each finding, replacing theoretical vulnerability data with confirmed attack outcomes and reducing false positives.

Executes simulations using non-destructive payloads and read-only techniques that cannot cause data loss, service disruption, or lateral damage in production environments.

Runs attack technique sequences on a scheduled or continuous basis against production controls, surfacing control drift between point-in-time assessments without human intervention.

Provides a continuously updated, vendor-supplied library of pre-built attack scenarios and techniques spanning the full kill chain, runnable at scale with little to no offensive expertise required.

Ingests estate context such as asset discovery, attack surface management, and vulnerability data, natively or through integrations, to scope and prioritize validation against the assets and exposures that matter most.

Reports which executed techniques triggered alerts in existing security controls and which did not, mapping undetected techniques to the specific control or detection rule that should have fired.

Ranks remediation by the impact of validated attack paths and blast radius rather than raw CVSS scores, directing effort toward the weaknesses that actually enable compromise.

Provides specific detection rule recommendations, log source requirements, and control configuration changes for each identified gap: not just a list of undetected techniques.

Maps executed attack techniques to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and reports coverage across the attack lifecycle, enabling threat-informed gap analysis and detection engineering.

Re-tests specific validated weaknesses after remediation to confirm each fix closed the attack path, closing the validation loop between testing and remediation.

Pulls current threat intelligence from native feeds or third-party integrations to build and run validations against newly disclosed threats, letting teams confirm whether defenses block an emerging campaign or CVE shortly after it is published.
