Ridge Security compromising with customers first
RidgeBot: #1 most reviewed tool for pentesting
Paul Auvil brings over 35 years of finance, technology, and corporate leadership experience. He has worked for leading cybersecurity and technology companies, bringing a keen understanding and wealth of knowledge and expertise to Ridge Security. Traditional security measures, while essential, are no longer sufficient to protect against the complex and persistent attacks that can cripple a business. Ridge Security, a leading provider of AI-powered automated security validation proudly announces its inclusion in the newly published Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations 2024. Ridge Security has been recognized in the newly defined category of Adversarial Exposure Validation under Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework. Ridge Security Technology is proud to announce that it has been awarded the “Publisher’s Choice DevSecOps Vanguard 2024” and its co-founder and president, Lydia Zhang, has been honored as a “Market Leader Pioneering Woman in Cybersecurity 2024” by the Global InfoSec Awards. Ridge Security Technology is proud to announce that it has been recognized as the “Most Promising Cybersecurity Startup” and its CEO, Nick Mo, received the prestigious Next Gen Visionary Cyber CEO Awardfrom Cyber Defense Magazine. Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Emily Reed is responsible for safeguarding the digital assets of a thriving healthcare organization renowned for its advanced digital technology solutions. A curious parallel can be drawn between cybercriminals and the intriguing phenomenon of Cicadas. Akin to the periodic insects that emerge from the ground after years of dormancy, cybercriminals often resurface with renewed vigor, unleashing their disruptive activities on unsuspecting organizations. Penetration testing reveals computer system weaknesses and seeks to exploit them. However, implementing such a test is costly and impractical due to the extensive human hours required. As a result, completing the test and generating a report typically takes two weeks. Ridge Security, cutting-edge AI-powered security validation solution provider, announced it has signed a partnership with BROAD Corporation, to equip enterprise customers in the Japan market with top-tier solutions to enhance security operations and protect critical assets and infrastructure. Ridge Security, a leader in automated penetration testing and AI-powered security validation for CTEM, today announced Gartner Peer Insights placed it in the upper-left Strong Performers quadrant of the “Voice of the Customer.” The Ridge Security rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars, with 94 % of customers indicating a “Willingness to Recommend.” Imagine two security analysts engaging in conversation about the intricacies of their work when one receives hundreds of vulnerability alerts; all scored high risk at seven or eight. Throwing his hands up in frustration, he asks his co-worker, “What are we supposed to do with all this? Where do we start?” After a glance, the second analyst replies, “Well, there’s zero context from the vulnerability scanner. So, looks like no lunch break for us today, buddy … or tomorrow.” The old idiom ‘Can you walk and chew gum at the same time’ was initially used as a negative slam regarding an individual’s level of competence. In light of today’s threat landscape, the question for organizations might be, “Can your security team handle the multiple tasks and numerous processes required to detect, respond, and mitigate escalating cyber threats at the same time?” Called upon to become super multitaskers, they must successfully address routine and unexpected challenges without compromising quality or efficiency. AI’s capacity to consume, assimilate and use massive datasets from numerous resources is the driving force behind significant advancements in most industries. AI-driven technologies provide deeper data insights to improve health care outcomes and optimize operational processes in manufacturing, for example. AI technologies to improve security outcomes are also being deployed to detect and prevent cyberattacks. While these AI use cases differ in their procedures and goals, the common denominator is the value of leveraging data intelligence. There is a growing concern that the increasing use of AI could create a tipping point where the technology grows and permeates our personal lives and businesses rapidly, building upon itself while cyber protections are still catching up. If your organization is concerned about increasing and expanding cyber threats, you are not alone. While many enterprises recognize the need to create a multi-layered security posture, this article explores the importance of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and how it can help proactively manage risks and bolster defences against growing cyber threats. If your organization is concerned about increasing and expanding cyber threats, you are not alone. While many enterprises recognize the need to create a multi-layered security posture, this article explores the importance of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and how it can help proactively manage risks and bolster defences against growing cyber threats. Ridge Security, a leading exposure management provider, is proud to announce that is has been included in two distinct categories of the Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations 2023. RidgeBot, the AI-Powered automated security validation solution, is included in the following two categories: Automated Penetration Testing and Red Teaming Technology, and Breach and Attack Simulation.
