network infrastructure,
the cloud, and
web applications, covering a wide range of vulnerabilities which could be exploited by an attacker. Some of the security checks that we perform include:
Common mistakes & configuration weaknessesEven the most secure software can often be configured in an insecure way. Simple mistakes such as leaving default passwords, not enabling encryption or other security settings.
Intruder has thousands of checks for these kinds of mistakes, making sure all your business sensitive systems are hardened as much as they need to be.
Missing patches
Patch management is a fundamental part of keeping your digital estate secure, as missing patches can quickly be detected and exploited by attackers.
Intruder’s security scans can detect insecure versions of many thousands of software components and frameworks, from web servers to operating systems and network devices.
Website security flaws
Website vulnerabilities have been known about for decades, but still account for a large proportion of breaches.
