RidgeBot

What is RidgeBot?

RidgeBot is an AI-powered automated penetration testing platform - a robot pentester that simulates attacker behavior, discovers vulnerabilities, attempts exploitation, and delivers reports with proof. Continuous pentesting without engaging external testers.

Key Functions:

• Automated Pentesting - full test automation
• Vulnerability Validation - confirms if vulnerability is exploitable
• Attack Path Analysis - maps attack paths
• MITRE ATT&CK - emulates real hacker techniques

Common Problems:

• Pentests once a year - too infrequent
• Pentesters expensive and hard to find
• Vulnerability scanner = thousands of CVEs, which are critical?
• No exploitation proof - only theoretical risks
• No retests after fixes
• New deployments without testing

FAQ

Can RidgeBot damage production systems? RidgeBot uses safe exploitation - exploits that confirm vulnerability without destruction. You can also limit test aggressiveness.

How often should I run tests? Minimum monthly. Ideal: after each deployment, weekly for critical assets, daily for perimeter.

Will it replace manual pentester? Not completely. RidgeBot excellent for continuous testing and coverage. Manual pentest still needed for compliance and advanced scenarios.

What about false positives? RidgeBot validates exploits - reports only confirmed vulnerabilities. False positive rate much lower than scanners.

Can I test production? Yes, in safe mode. But testing on staging/pre-prod recommended for full aggressiveness.

How long does a test take? Depends on scope. Typically: several hours for web app, 1-2 days for full network.

Does nFlo deploy RidgeBot? Yes. On-prem and SaaS deployments, test configuration, CI/CD integration, results interpretation, remediation consulting.
