She had preemptively purchased Ridge Security's RidgeBot automated penetration testing product, recently upgraded with new plugins that automatically detect and exploit the MOVEit vulnerability.
RidgeBot is an AI-powered security validation platform for CTEM that proactively and continuously tests, validates, prioritizes, and resolves vulnerabilities and exposures.
CTEM is a holistic and continuous approach focused on understanding the business context, identifying vulnerabilities and exposures, and prioritizing defenses based on real-world security risks.
RidgeBot scans a company's entire network for software vulnerabilities and exposures and exploits them to simulate real cyberattacks.
RidgeBot includes detailed prioritized risk assessment reports and has zero false positives.
Report information, such as the attack topology, attack path, attack surface, vulnerability and risk details, and fix solutions, are also included.
Without wasting time, the team decided to put RidgeBot to the test.
With the complete inventory at hand, the team utilized RidgeBot for automated penetration testing.
RidgeBot conducted automatic scans across the applications, network infrastructure, and critical servers-areas that are typically vulnerable to attacks.
They watched as one of their servers was compromised, with RidgeBot demonstrating its ability to execute commands on the server.
Armed with detailed information from RidgeBot about the compromised server and the intrusion path, the team swiftly patched the server in question and reinforced the security policies to protect against similar attacks in the future.
Ultimately, RidgeBot automated penetration testing saved the organization from a potentially disastrous cyberattack.
As this example portrays, deploying a comprehensive CTEM platform such as RidgeBot offers a range of compelling benefits, including real-time monitoring, continuous testing, and deep visibility into a company's network vulnerabilities and potential risks.
RidgeBot helps organizations improve their cybersecurity posture and resilience by providing information and recommendations on cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance.
RidgeBot makes it faster and easier to support regulatory requirements and delves deeper with continuous testing for vulnerabilities and exposures associated with network changes, new software configurations, new apps, and adding new users and groups.
RidgeBot's automated pentesting allows them to close the windows of opportunity for bad actors by running a test whenever they have a network change, configuration change, new application, and new users and user groups.
RidgeBot is easy to plug into DevSecOps processes and workflows, providing a streamlined and automated approach to security.
By automating threat exposure management, RidgeBot ensures continuous protection throughout the software development lifecycle, from initial design to deployment and maintenance, aligning with the agile and fast-paced nature of DevSecOps environments.
RidgeBot ensures consistent and thorough assessments, eliminating human error and saving valuable time.
CTEM, with RidgeBot automated penetration testing, empowers organizations to stay ahead of cyber threats, bolster their security posture, and maintain a resilient digital environment.
