Ridge Security, a leader in AI-powered offensive security for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), today announced RidgeGen, a next-generation Agentic AI framework designed to take security validation from automation to autonomy. Integrated into Ridge Security’s flagship RidgeBot, RidgeGen enables intelligent, context-aware testing across IT, OT, and AI infrastructures.
From Automation to Autonomy
RidgeGen combines LLM-based contextual intelligence with Ridge Security’s domain-specific knowledge to tackle complex exploits and deliver more accurate results. Unlike traditional security tools that focus narrowly on web applications, RidgeBot powered by RidgeGen extends testing across hosts, networks, applications, APIs, and even LLMs, making it one of the most comprehensive offensive security frameworks available commercially.
“RidgeBot powered by RidgeGen helps our customers maintain a confident security posture against breaches and ransomware by reducing both false positives and false negatives,” said Lydia Zhang, President and Co-Founder of Ridge Security. “It allows teams to expand testing beyond standard exploits to uncover zero-day vulnerabilities specific to their environments.”
Private Preview and Benchmark Success
RidgeGen was previewed at a private San Jose event on September 25, showcasing its multi-agent architecture that enables collaborative reconnaissance, coordinated exploit chaining, and dynamic threat modeling. Advanced exploits, including JWT confusion attacks, were demonstrated to highlight RidgeGen’s capabilities in addressing complex threats affecting thousands of enterprises.
The preview also revealed DEFCON 2025 Benchmark Bakeoff results, where RidgeBot achieved 88% benchmark completion, outperforming leading web security tools that scored 38% and 82%. Notably, RidgeBot generated zero false positives, sharply reducing false negatives—a critical advantage in dynamic threat environments.
“Cybersecurity operates in a constantly evolving landscape,” said Charles Kolodgy, principal at Security Mindsets. “RidgeGen integrates AI seamlessly into RidgeBot, improving precision and enabling human experts to focus on the most critical security events.”
Evolution of RidgeBot and RidgeGen
Earlier in 2025, Ridge Security introduced RidgeBot 5.2, featuring an initial version of RidgeGen powered by a specialized Generative AI (GenAI) small language model. RidgeGen enhances both efficiency and accuracy in offensive security testing, addressing the growing demands of the CTEM market and enabling enterprises to proactively uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do.
RidgeGen represents a shift in offensive security: leveraging agentic AI to deliver autonomous, context-aware threat validation, bridging the gap between automated scans and human-led penetration testing. For enterprises facing increasingly sophisticated threats, RidgeBot with RidgeGen offers a scalable, intelligent solution to safeguard complex IT and AI ecosystems.
