Ridge Security was accepted into Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program (CVP) in May 2026, an application-based program granting approved cybersecurity teams structured access to Claude's full dual-use capabilities for legitimate security research. The verification benefits Ridge Security's RidgeGen agentic AI framework, enabling adjusted access to vulnerability exploitation and offensive tooling that Claude restricts by default. The AI platforms market reached $109.9B in 2025 and is forecast to grow to $181.3B in 2026, expanding at a 28.7% CAGR through 2030. Survey data shows 38.8% of decision makers identify Security and Risk as a top generative AI priority, with 49.2% of respondents planning to deploy agentic AI in IT Operations and Cybersecurity within 18 months, and 52.6% of enterprises citing data privacy and security vulnerabilities as a top AI adoption challenge. CVP-backed credibility is emerging as a meaningful procurement differentiator, as verified status represents structured, verified access to frontier model capabilities that most cybersecurity AI vendors cannot obtain.
