We’re pleased to share that Ridge Security has been accepted into NVIDIA Inception, NVIDIA’s program for startups building breakthrough AI. Ridge Security joined in September 2026, giving the team behind RidgeGen, our agentic AI offensive security platform, access to NVIDIA’s technical resources, expert network, and global AI ecosystem.
What Is NVIDIA Inception?
NVIDIA Inception supports startups through product development, prototyping, and deployment. Members get access to the latest NVIDIA developer resources, preferred pricing on NVIDIA products, exclusive partner offers, co-marketing support, and exposure to NVIDIA’s venture capital network.
The program is built for companies applying AI to solve hard, real-world problems. For Ridge Security, that problem is security validation: proving which exposures an attacker can actually use and helping organizations test their environments at the speed attackers now move.
Why This Matters for Ridge Security
Ridge Security builds RidgeGen,a multi-agent ecosystem that performs pentesting, red teaming for continuous security validation across IT, OT, and AI infrastructure.
Inception program gives our engineering and research teams additional resources to:
- Accelerate agent performance, optimizing how RidgeGen’s agents reason, chain exploits, and validate findings.
- Go deeper on AI infrastructure testing, an attack surface where GPU clusters, model-serving pipelines, and LLM applications are being deployed faster than they are being secured.
- Build alongside NVIDIA experts, with direct access to technical guidance as we continue scaling RidgeGen testing capabilities.
One example of this work is RidgeOne, our new “AI Pentesting in a Box” solution. RidgeOne combines RidgeGen with an open-weight AI model running on NVIDIA DGX Spark, giving organizations a way to perform autonomous penetration testing and agentic red teaming within their own environment while keeping sensitive testing data private and eliminating ongoing AI token costs.
What This Means for Our Customers
As AI changes both the offensive and defensive sides of cybersecurity, Ridge Security is focused on putting that technology to work where it matters most – testing real environments, following real attack paths, and proving what is actually exploitable.
Joining NVIDIA Inception is another step forward in that work.
