Ridge Security Brings AI-Powered Penetration Testing to Microsoft Azure Marketplace to Enable Continuous Security Validation at Scale

The RidgeBot^® listing empowers organizations and partners to automate risk validation, reduce exposure, and streamline compliance directly within their Azure environments.

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ridge Security, a leading innovator in automated penetration testing and continuous security validation, has made its flagship AI-powered solution, RidgeBot^®, available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Microsoft’s online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. Customers and partners can seamlessly deploy RidgeBot within their Azure environments to perform continuous, AI-driven validation that identifies, validates, and remediates vulnerabilities at scale.

Transforming Security Validation Through Automation

Powered by AI-driven automation, RidgeBot autonomously identifies attack surfaces, safely executes exploitations, and generates actionable reports aligned with OWASP and MITRE frameworks. This enables security and DevOps teams to detect, validate, and remediate vulnerabilities faster, reducing risk exposure and strengthening resilience across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

By leveraging Azure’s global infrastructure, RidgeBot allows organizations to unify automated penetration testing and continuous security validation under a single cloud platform. The result is a scalable, always-on approach that replaces infrequent manual testing with continuous, data-driven assurance of real-world defenses.

A Philosophy Rooted in Continuous, Intelligent Defense

“At Ridge Security, we believe the best defense is to think like a hacker,” said Lydia Zhang, President and Co-Founder of Ridge Security. “RidgeBot on Microsoft Azure Marketplace extends that philosophy by enabling organizations to continuously validate their security posture through autonomous, AI-driven testing. This approach helps customers and partners strengthen defenses, align with CTEM goals, and act on data-backed evidence of risk.”
