Intruder is a cloud‑based vulnerability and exposure management platform that markets automated penetration testing for internet‑facing assets. It continuously discovers new external services and runs vulnerability checks whenever your attack surface changes, alongside “emerging threat” scans for high‑profile new CVEs. Findings are prioritized by risk and presented with straightforward remediation guidance suitable for lean teams. While Intruder is closer to advanced automated scanning than full exploit‑chaining pentesting, many organizations use it as a lightweight, automated alternative to periodic external pentests, particularly for SaaS‑heavy or smaller environments.
Intruder provides a vulnerability management platform that combines attack surface management, cloud security scanning, and continuous vulnerability scanning. It continuously monitors environments for changes, can trigger scans when cloud assets change, and runs emerging threat scans to highlight newly disclosed vulnerabilities quickly. Intruder is typically used by lean security teams that want prioritized findings, compliance-ready reporting, and automated discovery across internet-facing and cloud assets.
