Intruder Vulnerability Scanner for Cloud & Web Apps | PCDrama

Most vulnerability scanners were built for security teams with dedicated headcount and unlimited patience. Intruder was built for everyone else. This cloud-based vulnerability scanning platform strips away the complexity of traditional scanners and delivers continuous, automated security assessments that small and mid-sized companies can actually manage without a full-time security analyst on staff. Connect your cloud accounts, point it at your infrastructure, and Intruder handles the rest: discovering assets, scanning for vulnerabilities, prioritizing by real-world risk, and alerting you when something needs attention.

TL;DR

Cloud-based vulnerability scanner designed for SMBs and lean security teams
Auto-discovers and scans cloud assets across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Cloudflare
Combines infrastructure scanning (OpenVAS) with web app scanning (SQL injection, XSS)
Continuous attack surface monitoring triggers scans when new assets appear
Plans from $149/month (Essential) to custom enterprise pricing

"Intruder's continuous monitoring features attack surface monitoring that automatically detects new assets and triggers scans."

The scanning engine combines two complementary approaches. Infrastructure scanning powered by OpenVAS and proprietary engines uncovers outdated software, misconfigurations, weak encryption, and missing patches across servers, networks, and cloud services. Web application scanning detects common vulnerabilities including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication flaws. Cloud integration is where Intruder particularly shines: connect your AWS, Azure, GCP, or Cloudflare accounts and the platform automatically discovers new services as they are deployed, triggering scans without manual intervention. This continuous discovery means shadow cloud resources get scanned alongside your known infrastructure.

Pro Tip: Connect All Cloud Accounts on Day One

Intruder's automated cloud asset discovery only works for connected accounts. Connect every cloud provider and Cloudflare account during initial setup so that new services deployed by any team are automatically discovered and scanned before they become unmonitored attack surface.

Pricing transparency is refreshing in a market where many competitors require sales calls to learn what a scan will cost. Intruder's Essential plan starts at $149/month, Cloud at $299/month, and Pro at $499/month, each with a base fee plus a per-target charge that scales predictably. Scan frequency increases with plan tier: monthly for Essential, weekly for Cloud and Pro, and daily for Enterprise. All infrastructure targets (internal, external, and cloud) are priced identically, avoiding the hidden cost surprises that plague competing platforms. For growing companies that need professional vulnerability management without enterprise budgets or enterprise complexity, Intruder delivers the right balance of capability and accessibility.

Key Takeaways

SMB Focused: Designed for teams without dedicated security headcount
Auto Discovery: Cloud integrations find and scan new assets automatically
Dual Engine: Infrastructure (OpenVAS) and web application scanning combined
Transparent Pricing: Plans from $149/month with predictable per-target costs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Intruder scan internal networks?
Yes. Intruder supports both external and internal infrastructure scanning. Internal scans are available on Pro and Enterprise plans and are priced the same as external targets.
How often does Intruder scan?
Scan frequency depends on your plan: monthly (Essential), weekly (Cloud/Pro), or daily (Enterprise). Continuous attack surface monitoring triggers additional scans whenever new assets are discovered.
