The IT Nerd

Ridge Security today announced that it has achieved ISO/IEC 27001 certification, the globally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). The certification comes ahead of the company’s upcoming RidgeBot 6.0 platform release, which introduces enterprise-scale enhancements for AWS and Windows security validation.

ISO/IEC 27001 certification provides Ridge Security with a competitive advantage by meeting these rigid requirements, helping accelerate sales cycles and supporting expansion into new global markets. Achieving this certification validates Ridge Security’s commitment to safeguarding sensitive information, continuously improving its security posture, and operating with long-term resilience and accountability.

The new certification applies to all Ridge Security products, including the company’s flagship platform, the upcoming RidgeBot 6.0, a leading agentic AI-based adversarial risk validation platform that supports continuous threat exposure management programs. It is designed for continuous security validation and risk-based vulnerability management, scanning IT environments, discovering attack surfaces and validating weaknesses using real proof-of-concept exploits with zero false-positives.

Additionally, RidgeBot can safely simulate real-world adversarial attacks. RidgeBot 6.0 integrates with AI frameworks such as RidgeGen, enabling advanced capabilities including exploit chaining, contextual reasoning, PII detection, and detailed remediation guidance. These features allow enterprises to conduct frequent, scalable testing beyond traditional manual methods.

Ridge Security has made its flagship AI-powered solution, RidgeBot^®, available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Microsoft’s online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. Customers and partners can seamlessly deploy RidgeBot within their Azure environments to perform continuous, AI-driven validation that identifies, validates, and remediates vulnerabilities at scale.

Transforming Security Validation Through Automation

Powered by AI-driven automation, RidgeBot autonomously identifies attack surfaces, safely executes exploitations, and generates actionable reports aligned with OWASP and MITRE frameworks. This enables security and DevOps teams to detect, validate, and remediate vulnerabilities faster, reducing risk exposure and strengthening resilience across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

By leveraging Azure’s global infrastructure, RidgeBot allows organizations to unify automated penetration testing and continuous security validation under a single cloud platform. The result is a scalable, always-on approach that replaces infrequent manual testing with continuous, data-driven assurance of real-world defenses.

Designed for Enterprises and Partners Alike

RidgeBot on Microsoft Azure Marketplace provides flexible deployment options tailored to different security and operational needs:

• Managed Application (Subscription): Deploy RidgeBot directly from Azure with a simple monthly plan covering one web app or up to twenty IPs, billed through Azure.

Ridge Security, leader in AI-powered offensive security for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), today announced that it was the second highest vendor to score a willingness to recommend with 95% in the 2025 Gartner’s Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer” for Adversarial Exposure Validation.

Based on 22 reviews validated by Gartner as of August 2025 Ridge Security recently announced RidgeGen, a comprehensive Agentic AI framework designed to take security validation from automation to autonomy. Powered by RidgeGen, Ridge Security’s flagship product, RidgeBot, covers an organization’s IT infrastructure, including hosts, networks, applications, APIs, and LLMs, making it the platform with the most comprehensive offensive security framework ever developed. We feel like the willingness to recommend score from Gartner Peer Insights™ “Voice of the Customer” is evidence of the company’s growing demand for Adversarial Exposure Validation technology.

According to Gartner, Adversarial Exposure Validation represents a market segment focused on solutions that continuously test, validate, and measure an organization’s security posture by emulating real-world attacker behaviors. These technologies operationalize adversarial techniques to assess and prioritize exposures with precision and repeatability.

Within this framework, Gartner Peer Insights defines willingness to recommend as the percentage of verified end users who indicate they would endorse a vendor solution to their peers, a key measure of customer advocacy. Derived from 18 months of practitioner reviews, this metric offers an evidence-based view of user confidence and satisfaction with Ridge Security’s flagship product, RidgeBot.
