Ridge Security announced at RSAC 2026 the latest version of PurpleRidge Security, a fully self-service, agentic AI-based autonomous penetration testing service purpose-built for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs).
Alongside Ridge Security’s flagship enterprise platform, RidgeBot, PurpleRidge is another product in the portfolio. It is hosted on Google Cloud and powered by the latest Gemini LLM model. While continuing to serve the same SMB and MSSP market, the platform introduces a major architectural shift – from machine-learning-based AI to agentic AI – bringing more advanced, autonomous offensive testing capabilities to organizations that have traditionally lacked access to them.
As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated, especially with the rise of AI-driven threats, small and mid-sized businesses face increasing pressure to continuously validate their defenses while meeting compliance requirements. PurpleRidge addresses this challenge by delivering autonomous, high-confidence penetration testing without the cost and complexity of traditional services.
“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,” said Lydia Zhang, President and Co-founder of Ridge Security.
As a special promotion during RSAC week, all new PurpleRidge accounts will receive 200 free credits upon registration, enough to run two full penetration tests at no cost. To claim the offer and get started, visit https://purpleridge.ai
