Emulate The Adversary’s Techniques 

RidgeBot® ACE delivers advanced adversary emulation by mimicking the likely attack paths and techniques, generating continuous assessment data to help identify security control failures, resolve structural weaknesses and enable security control optimization. It maps its assessment test scripts to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques.

How It Works

1. Deploy

RidgeBot® deploys a lightweight Botlet across Windows and Linux platforms in different network segments. No agents, no complex setup required.

2. Emulate

Pre-built assessment templates launch safe, real-world attack simulations against your security controls — mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques.

3. Measure

RidgeBot® generates continuous assessment data showing exactly which controls detected threats, which failed, and where structural weaknesses exist.

Attack Scenarios

Endpoint Security

RidgeBot® simulates malicious software and malware signatures to validate whether your endpoint security controls detect and block real threats.

Data Exfiltration

RidgeBot® simulates unauthorized data movement — personal data, financial records, confidential files, source code — to test whether your controls catch and stop exfiltration attempts.

AD Information Recon

RidgeBot® simulates an attacker gathering resources in Windows Active Directory to escalate privileges, persist in the environment, and extract information.

Key Capabilities

Out-of-box assessment templates

Pre-built test scripts make it simple for any skill level to assess security controls across multiple scenarios — no specialized expertise required.

MITRE ATT&CK alignment

Every assessment maps to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques, increasing visibility into potential attack vectors and improving how security findings are communicated to leadership.

Continuous or on-demand testing

Run assessments on a schedule or trigger them immediately — whenever infrastructure changes, new controls are deployed, or the threat landscape shifts.

Safe for production environments

All simulations are designed to be harmless. RidgeBot® validates your defenses without disrupting business operations or causing actual damage.

FAQ’s – RidgeBot® Adversary Cyber Emulation

What is adversary emulation?
Adversary emulation mimics the likely attack paths and techniques that RidgeBot® ACE uses to test your IT security controls. RidgeBot® ACE maps assessment test scripts to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques. Adversary emulation generates continuous assessment data to identify security control failures and resolve structural weaknesses. 
What attack simulation scenarios does RidgeBot® ACE provide?
RidgeBot® ACE provides three attack simulation scenarios. Endpoint security emulation validates endpoint security controls. Data exfiltration testing simulates unauthorized data movement. Active Directory information reconnaissance simulates attackers gathering resources in Windows Active Directory. 
How does RidgeBot® measure security control effectiveness?
RidgeBot® ACE measures security control effectiveness using block rate, which is the ratio of blocked scripts versus all assessment scripts executed. RidgeBot® tracks overall block rate trend, block rate per target, and results per MITRE ATT&CK tactic and technique. Higher block rate indicates better security controls. 
What is Botlet in RidgeBot® ACE?

Botlet is a software agent that enables adversary emulation by simulating real-world cyber-attacks without harm to your IT environment. Botlet performs assessment test scripts to validate security controls. 

What is an assessment test script?
An assessment test script is a group of scripted behaviors carried out by Botlet to simulate a specific cyber-attack or validate security controls. RidgeBot® ACE provides descriptions and mitigation suggestions for unblocked assessment tests.
