MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 20, 2025--

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.”

Designed for Enterprises and Partners Alike

RidgeBot on Microsoft Azure Marketplace provides flexible deployment options tailored to different security and operational needs:

Managed Application (Subscription): Deploy RidgeBot directly from Azure with a simple monthly plan covering one web app or up to twenty IPs, billed through Azure.
Virtual Machine (BYOL): Deploy RidgeBot as a VM using a license purchased directly from Ridge Security for greater configuration flexibility.
Microsoft Sentinel Joint Solution: Centrally manage multiple RidgeBot deployments across on-premise and cloud environments for unified alerts and analytics.

These options empower enterprises and partners to scale security validation seamlessly within their Azure ecosystems. Learn more at www.ridgesecurity.ai/azure
