Case Study: a commercial bank achieves faster, automated penetration testing and improved compliance with Ridge Security's RidgeBot

Capital assets exceeding $1B (USD) with more than 1M customers

A leading commercial bank in the ASEAN region with over a million customers faced significant security challenges. Its IT infrastructure relied on outdated systems, making it vulnerable to threats, a concern heightened by a prior ransomware attack. The bank's small security team found manual, quarterly penetration testing to be a cumbersome and inefficient use of their limited resources. They sought a solution from Ridge Security that could provide continuous automated testing and ransomware simulation.

The bank implemented Ridge Security's RidgeBot, an automated penetration-testing solution. Using predefined scenarios, RidgeBot successfully identified and demonstrated critical vulnerabilities, including the EternalBlue exploit. This allowed the blue team to quickly remediate the risks and use the data for compliance reporting. Ridge Security's solution saved the bank considerable time and resources, automating tedious tasks and enabling the small team to focus on strengthening their overall security posture with a more robust strategy.
