Key Points

Finding the right tech for your security stack shouldn’t feel like you’re going all in on red in Vegas. Yet that’s too often the reality. Vendors sell you the world and expect you to take their word for it. High price tags and slow procurement processes mean you can invest several months and thousands of dollars in a new tool before you know if it’s going to solve the challenges you’re facing. 

The challenge is amplified for small and medium-sized businesses that face the same risks as their enterprise counterparts, with a fraction of the budget and headcount needed to run a complex enterprise security stack. Our Security Middle Child research backs this up: 46% of midmarket security teams say enterprise-focused platforms assume more staff, budget, or complexity than they can support.

At Intruder, we’ve earned the trust of 3,000+ security and IT teams not by pouring millions of venture capital dollars into sales and marketing (we’re bootstrapped), but by building a product that is genuinely helping security and IT teams and giving them time back. We want to earn our place in your stack, and that’s why we’re making our tech available for free, forever. 

A free plan for small attack surfaces 

We built Intruder to make security accessible to the 99%, stretched security and IT teams who too often find themselves under-resourced and on the back foot. Launching the Free plan is the logical next step on our journey. We use open source software as part of what we do, and this is also a way to give back to a community that shouldn't need a six-figure budget and a ten-person team to stay secure. 

The free plan suits businesses with a small attack surface, or practitioners who own a slice of a much bigger one, and includes:

  • Vulnerability management: find and fix real vulnerabilities fast, with weekly scheduled scans for up to 5 external targets
  • Cloud security posture management: catch misconfigurations before they become breaches, with weekly checks across one cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud)
  • Container image scanning: catch vulnerabilities in your images before they reach production, scanning up to 2 images a week
  • Attack surface monitoring: spot new exposures the moment they appear, with continuous monitoring on ports 80 and 443
  • Remediation validation: confirm a fix actually worked before you close it out, with unlimited remediation scans
  • Cyber hygiene score: see your cyber risk level on one dashboard, and share reports with stakeholders or auditors
  • AI issue level pentesting: investigate and validate scanner findings with one investigation credit a month
  • Team collaboration: bring up to 3 people into the same workspace

Integrate a cloud account, connect a target, and Intruder surfaces real exposures the same day. 

Everyone starts with a 14-day trial on our Cloud plan, so you can put Intruder to work across your environment and surface real findings. You can walk into a meeting with your own data: what's exposed right now, and what it would take to fix.

When the trial ends, there's no hard stop. If you're not ready to commit, move on to the Free plan and keep your core coverage for as long as it suits you, no credit card required. As your attack surface expands, we've got plans to support you at every stage.

Security for the 99%

Cost is the biggest thing standing between lean teams and the tooling they need to stay secure, and our Free plan helps break down the affordability barrier.
