Case Study: a large telecom provider achieves automated, cost-effective penetration testing with RidgeBot from Ridge Security

Large Telecom Provider - Customer Case Study

The customer, a large global telecommunications provider in the Asia-Pacific region, faced the major cybersecurity challenge of protecting a vast and growing network threat surface. To meet compliance mandates and secure thousands of web applications and servers, they needed a cost-effective, automated penetration testing solution that required minimal human intervention. They selected the RidgeBot solution from vendor Ridge Security.

Ridge Security implemented RidgeBot to perform automated, scheduled penetration testing across both development and production environments. The solution provided the telecom provider with complete asset coverage, identifying unauthorized servers and weak credentials while integrating with their security monitoring tools. As a result, RidgeBot dramatically reduced the manual effort required, cutting the time for a test from three weeks to three days and annual testing costs from an estimated $95,000 to $7,200, while consolidating multiple security tools into one.
