Eliminate False-Positive Vulnerabilities

As AI accelerates vulnerability discovery, the window between exposure and exploitation is shrinking. RidgeBot® validates the risks that exist in your specific environment, so your team always knows what’s real and what needs fixing first.

ZERO

false positives, RidgeBot ® only reports vulnerabilities it can actually exploit

How It Works

1. Discover

RidgeBot® crawls your infrastructure and fingerprints every asset, building a complete picture of your attack surface before any exploit is attempted.

2. Exploit

RidgeBot® identifies vulnerabilities and attempts to exploit them the way a real attacker would.

3. Report

Every completed kill chain is documented with a risk score, full attack path visualization, and prioritized remediation guidance.

Attack Scenarios

Internal Attack

Tests vulnerabilities from inside your network, the way a compromised insider or lateral mover would.

External Attack

Targets publicly accessible assets from outside — websites, cloud services, and exposed infrastructure.

Authenticated Penetration

Uses valid credentials to go deeper, simulating an attacker who already has a foothold.

Lateral Movement

Pivots from a compromised host to probe further into the network across systems and segments.

Web API

Tests API endpoints for exploitable weaknesses across your web applications and services.

Built for enterprise environments — works for any size business

Six Features Differentiate RidgeBot®

Smart Fingerprinting and Smart Web Crawling

RidgeBot® automatically crawls or scans the specified IT infrastructure to identify and document a broad type of assets and the attack surfaces of those assets

  • 5600+ OS fingerprints/11000+ Service fingerprints
  • Asset Types Supported: IPs, Domains, Hosts, OS, Apps, Websites, Plugins, Network and IoT Devices

The following technologies but not limited to are included in this stage:

  • Crawling, URL brute force, domain name resolution, subdomain brute-force, associated domain extraction, neighboring site inspection, web fingerprint, host fingerprint, system fingerprint, active host inspection, email extraction, login entries discovery

Support all major web frameworks

  • WordPress
  • PHP/SQL
  • VUE/React
  • JavaScript
RidgeBrain Expert Model and Vulnerability Mining

By leveraging the Asset Profiling results, RidgeBot® will examine the assets and attack surfaces against its vulnerability knowledge base, discover all potential vulnerabilities to exploit:

  • Web Applications
  • Host/Database Servers
  • Weak Credentials
  • 3rd Party Framework vulnerabilities

The following techniques are used during the vulnerability mining process:

  • Weakness discovering: Identify possible weak links on the attack surface and check for vulnerabilities based on the intelligent decision system such as the expert models and RidgeBot® brains.
  • Vulnerability scanning: Access and test the target system by using packet generated by an automatic tool and the payload provided by the attack component, vector engine etc., and the returned results are checked to determine whether there are vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
Auto Exploitation

RidgeBot® has an extensive knowledge base, the customer can either choose the exploits based on the test goal and target; or choose to use full scan and have RidgeBot® conduct auto-exploitation.

  • 2B+ threat intelligence
  • 150K+ exploit database
  • 6000+ build-in POC exploits

The following techniques are used during the vulnerability exploit process:

  • Internal attack: Launch attacks from inside of Enterprise network with customer’s permission, focusing on exploiting vulnerabilities discovered on local network and systems.
  • External attack: Launch attacks from outside Enterprise networks towards publicly accessible assets such as organizations’ websites, file shares, or services hosted in public cloud/CDN
  • Lateral Movement: After gaining a permission to the target host, use the host as a pivot to further exploit vulnerabilities and gain access to other parts of the system.
Realtime Attack Action Visualization

Auto Topology Drawing

  • Shows relationships of assets and attack surfaces
  • Map out vulnerabilities and risks

Full Attack Path Visibility

  • Track the attack source and show the attack details

Show the real-time actions on the dashboard

  • Discover
  • Scan
  • Exploit
Risk-based Assessment

Health Score: Rank and remediate vulnerabilities based on risk assessment

  • Detailed and specific ranking of the most harmful vulnerabilities
  • Visualize the kill-chain
  • Comprehensive health score based on the weighted evaluation

Kill Chain Visualization: A Risk is defined as “An exploit with a completed kill-chain accomplished”

  • Exploit attempts launched toward each exploitable vulnerability, only those accomplished the whole kill-chain will be documented in the final report.
  • Four types of risks shown in the final report
Distributed Architecture for Large Scale Infrastructure

FAQ’s – RidgeBot® AI Agent for Autonomous Penetration Testing

What is autonomous penetration testing?

Autonomous penetration testing uses software to continuously test your network for vulnerabilities. RidgeBot® crawls your systems, identifies assets with smart fingerprinting, discovers weaknesses, and automatically exploits them using real POC exploits without needing security experts. 

Is autonomous penetration testing worth it?

Yes. Autonomous penetration testing runs continuously and finds vulnerabilities 100x faster than manual penetration testing, which only happens once or twice a year. It closes windows of opportunity for hackers by testing whenever your network changes. 

What is autonomous penetration testing versus manual penetration testing?
Manual penetration testing requires experienced testers and takes weeks. Autonomous penetration testing with RidgeBot® runs continuously and shows real attacker behavior with complete attack chains. It finds hidden risks that basic vulnerability scanners miss. 
How does RidgeBot® perform lateral movement testing?

RidgeBot® exploits vulnerabilities to gain access, then uses that system as a pivot to probe deeper into your network. This lateral movement testing shows how attackers move through your systems after breaking in. 

What are RidgeBot's autonomous penetration testing features?
RidgeBot® has six key features: smart fingerprinting identifies assets, vulnerability mining discovers weaknesses, auto exploitation runs 6000+ POC exploits, real-time attack visualization shows the kill chain, risk-based assessment ranks vulnerabilities, and distributed architecture scales for large networks.
