The Critical Role of Plugin Libraries for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) 

by | Nov 11, 2024 | Blog

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)  involves continuously assessing an organization’s security posture against external and internal threats. It exposes threats from networks, applications, and websites to privileged accounts and APIs. It also provides visual evidence of an attack kill chain with a complete breakdown of a cyberattack at every stage. 

Plugin libraries provide a shortcut by encapsulating security expertise and best practices. These plugins are the scripts that detect and validate threats exploited in the wild. Security research teams develop plugin libraries to test against the known threats. Remember, security validation ensures your defenses are effective. Leveraging plugin libraries enhances your security posture and reduces risk.  

Ridge Security Plugin Libraries Are Crucial for Security Validation 

Organizations face increasing cybersecurity challenges, from sophisticated attacks to supply chain vulnerabilities, and maintaining a robust security posture is critical. Ridge Security, a pioneer in AI-powered pentesting and security validation, offers a powerful solution through its plugin libraries. Let’s explore why these libraries are essential for effective security testing. 

RidgeBot, Ridge Security’s AI-powered security platform, delivers continuous security validation. Here’s why it matters: 

  • 36,000+ Plugin Library and updated bi-weekly – RidgeBot has a vast library of security plugins covering myriad vulnerabilities and attack scenarios. These plugins enable comprehensive testing against the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) published by Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency across systems, applications, and network components.  
  • 100x Faster than Human Testing – Manual penetration testing is time-consuming and resource-intensive. RidgeBot automates the process, executing tests at lightning speed. This efficiency allows security teams to focus on strategic tasks rather than repetitive manual testing. 
  • 100,000+ Assets Tested – RidgeBot assesses many assets simultaneously, including networks, web applications, APIs, databases, and often-overlook infrastructure components such as IP printers and cameras. It identifies vulnerabilities, risks, and weaknesses across the entire attack surface. 

RidgeBot support for continuous threat exposure management automatically identifies, evaluates, and reduces an organization’s exposure to threats. RidgeBot enables ongoing security posture monitoring, identifying changes, new vulnerabilities, and emerging threats to ensure continuous threat exposure management. 

RidgeBot’s growing plugin libraries empower organizations to stay ahead of cyber threats. By embracing AI-driven pentesting and security validation, RidgeBot enhances efficiency and reduce risk.
