AI is Evolving.
So are Cyber Attacks.
Ridgeback Restores the Defensive Advantage.

AI-Driven Attacks Demand a Different Kind of Defense

Even the most advanced ‘detect-and-respond’ solutions that leverage AI to do their work leave defenders on the backfoot, playing a reactive game of catch up. Automated attacks need automated solutions.

Ridgeback uses offensive techniques scaled and automated for defense to engage and impair adversary operations in actual real-time autonomously.

With Ridgeback’s offense-for-defense in place attackers won’t be interested in exploiting your network…they’ll find an easier target to victimize.

Actual Situational Awareness
See the Ground Truth

Universally, Instantly, Continuously

  • Every Device
  • Every Port
  • Every Signal
Ridgeback observes the entire network as it actually behaves across:
  • IT
  • OT
  • IoT
  • Remote Offices
  • Home Networks
without SPANs, TAPs, agents, or re-architecture.
You get a living, unified map of your environment the moment the network changes. Rogue devices, misconfigurations, unsafe vendor access, and shadow IT are exposed instantly.
No drift. No assumptions. No blind spots. Just ground truth, delivered continuously.
  • Visualize ALL your devices (IT, OT, IoT) and traffic in real time, 24/7.
  • Spotlight issues to focus IT resources for maximum effect.
  • Helps meet compliance obligations.
  • Do you recognize areas where you're lacking information?
Fact-based Risk Reporting
Detection That Is Containment
Detection alone only produces alerts. Ridgeback produces consequences.
When attackers probe your environment by scanning, mapping, or enumerating, Ridgeback instantly responds with temporary and weightless decoy assets that break reconnaissance, disrupt lateral movement, and impose cost on the adversary.
  • Recon Collapses Instantly
  • Attack Paths Disintegrate
  • Adversaries are Trapped, and Exposed
  • Defenders Gain Time, Clarity, and Advantage
This is automated, interactive defense that counters attacks the moment they begin.
Real-time Attack Disruption
Compliance and Confidence
From "Annoying Requirement" to "Strategic Advantage". Ridgeback transforms compliance from a paperwork burden into a proven operational result.
  • See every asset and service across every segment
  • Validate Zero Trust, segmentation, and ACLs
  • Produce timestamped, fact-based evidence automatically
  • Meet audit, OEM, regulatory, and insurance requirements with confidence
Compliance becomes something you achieve, not something you merely document.

Ridgeback shifts cyber defense from passive detection to interactive, consequence-driven control, giving defenders leverage for the first time. Security must follow the principles of game theory by imposing costs, increasing uncertainty, reducing attacker reward, and altering adversary behavior in real time.
Modern threats cannot be deterred by watching; they can only be deterred by making the attack painful and costly.
Ridgeback delivers that shift in visibility, control, and attacker consequences at the speed of the network. A lighter footprint. A simpler workflow. A stronger posture. And, for the first time, defense with the power to shape what the adversary does next.

Your network is loaded with chaos. How much risk will you tolerate?

Control the chaos and reduce your cyber risk with Ridgeback.

Render order from chaos with true enterprise-wide situational awareness.

Unlike common network mapping and data flow tools, Ridgeback instantly and quietly captures, reports and visualizes the entire network – including all IT, OT, IoT – in motion real-time, 24/7. Ridgeback will pinpoint opportunities not observed by other tools to reform network chaos for efficiency, resilience and security.

What’s driving risk in your systems?

Network Traffic is Processed into 3 Metrics
Exposure
The potential frequency of adverse events
Complexity
The potential severity of adverse events
Capacity
The scale of the IT footprint
Ridgeback Risk Index
Benefits of the Risk Report
  • See your network’s risk factors on demand: hourly, daily, and weekly scores.
  • Empower collaboration between tech and non-tech teams, all the way up to the board of directors.
  • Gain a precise understanding of how to fortify your network and confidently navigate the impacts of IT and security implementations.
  • Higher scores indicate more work, expense, weaker resiliency, and more vulnerability to exploitation.
