RidgeBot

What it does

RidgeBot is an Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) platform that runs autonomous penetration tests against IT, OT, and cloud assets. Its RidgeBrain expert model draws on 6,000+ built-in proof-of-concept exploits and adapts each attack to earlier results as it chains weaknesses into complete kill chains. A generative AI engine that runs entirely inside the platform identifies sensitive data and contextual vulnerabilities across languages and data formats. Only exploits that complete a kill chain reach the final report, which lists proven risks rather than scores to triage.

How it works

Automated Penetration Testing fingerprints assets against more than 5,600 operating system and 11,000 service signatures. It then runs agentless internal, external, authenticated, lateral-movement, web application, and API attacks and visualizes each attack path. Windows Authenticated Pentesting applies credential harvesting, pass-the-hash, and privilege escalation techniques to Active Directory domains. Adversary Cyber Emulation places a Botlet agent on Windows and Linux hosts, runs MITRE ATT&CK-mapped endpoint, data exfiltration, and Active Directory reconnaissance scripts, and scores controls by block rate. RidgeBot also validates third-party scanner findings and forwards confirmed results to security information and event management (SIEM) and orchestration tools.
