Ridge Security today revealed that TMC has honored RidgeBot®, the company’s agentic AI-powered offensive security platform, with a 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Award presented by TMCnet and INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. This recognition highlights RidgeBot’s ability to provide measurable, validated improvements in organizational security posture across complex hybrid environments.
RidgeBot stands out by moving organizations from surface-level visibility to true, ongoing validation of their defenses. Its agentic AI autonomously identifies real attack paths, prioritizes critical risks, and provides actionable remediation guidance—helping security teams strengthen resilience in increasingly complex, hybrid IT/OT/cloud environments.
“This recognition from TMC underscores our mission to help organizations move beyond surface-level visibility to true, continuous validation of their security posture,” said Lydia Zhang, President and Co-Founder of Ridge Security. “With RidgeBot’s agentic AI-driven approach, we’re enabling security teams to uncover real attack paths, prioritize what matters most, and strengthen resilience across increasingly complex hybrid environments.”
The platform’s latest version, RidgeBot 6.0, builds on these strengths with deeper AI integration, enabling advanced exploit chaining, contextual analysis, sensitive data detection (PII), and more precise remediation recommendations—empowering enterprises to conduct thorough, frequent testing at scale.
“Congratulations to Ridge Security for being honored with a Cybersecurity Excellence Award for their innovation and commitment to securing precious networks and data. RidgeBot has demonstrated outstanding quality and has delivered exceptional, measurable, tangible results for its users,” stated Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.
