Ridge Security, a Silicon Valley-based innovator in AI-powered penetration testing and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), has unveiled PurpleRidge Security™ 3.0 at RSAC 2026. With this latest release, the company strengthens its commitment to delivering advanced, autonomous cybersecurity solutions specifically designed for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs).
Notably, PurpleRidge Security™ 3.0 operates as a fully self-service, agentic AI-driven penetration testing platform. It complements Ridge Security’s flagship enterprise solution, RidgeBot®, while expanding the company’s portfolio to address a broader market segment. Moreover, the platform runs on Google Cloud and leverages the latest Gemini large language model (LLM), ensuring high scalability, intelligence, and efficiency.
In a significant technological leap, Ridge Security has transitioned PurpleRidge from traditional machine-learning-based AI to agentic AI architecture. As a result, organizations can now benefit from more autonomous and adaptive offensive security testing. This shift enables the platform to simulate real-world attack scenarios with greater precision, thereby helping businesses proactively identify vulnerabilities before cybercriminals exploit them.
Furthermore, as cyber threats continue to evolve—especially with the rapid emergence of AI-driven attacks—SMBs and MSSPs are under increasing pressure to strengthen their security posture. At the same time, they must comply with stringent regulatory requirements while managing limited budgets and resources. PurpleRidge addresses these challenges by offering continuous, high-confidence penetration testing without the complexity or high costs typically associated with traditional security assessments.
Additionally, the platform empowers organizations to maintain a proactive security strategy. Instead of relying on periodic testing, businesses can now continuously validate their defenses. Consequently, they gain better visibility into potential risks and can respond more effectively to emerging threats.
Lydia Zhang, President and Co-founder of Ridge Security, emphasized the platform’s value in democratizing advanced cybersecurity capabilities. She stated, “PurpleRidge acts as a dedicated security team for organizations without dedicated resources, tirelessly validating defenses against AI-based attacks and compliance mandates so they can focus on growth. It’s the first solution to combine LLM reasoning with deep cybersecurity expertise in a fully self-service package,”.
In essence, PurpleRidge Security™ 3.0 marks a transformative step forward in making enterprise-grade penetration testing accessible to smaller organizations. By combining cutting-edge AI technologies with user-friendly deployment, Ridge Security enables businesses to stay resilient in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
