What is vulnerability assessment software?
Vulnerability assessment software monitors your IT infrastructure and digital systems for security weaknesses. When you know where your flaws and weaknesses are, you can address any issues to prevent breaches and unauthorized access to your systems, helping avoid data loss and business disruption. More advanced vulnerability assessment software like Intruder can also discover and scan network access points and all connected devices.
How to get started with Intruder's vulnerability assessment software
1
Sign up for an account
Once your account is activated, you can start scanning your systems.
2
Add your targets
Start scanning with just a domain name or IP address. Or, set up a cloud integration to pull targets automatically.
3
Get the results
Review vulnerabilities prioritized by severity and see what’s exposed to the internet.
Vulnerability assessments simplified
Kick off a vulnerability assessment in a few clicks – no complicated configurations required. Schedule scans at flexible intervals to find vulnerabilities such as security misconfigurations, injection flaws, and more. Protect your infrastructure, web apps, and APIs in one platform and easily scan from an authenticated perspective.
Save time with intelligently prioritized results
Intruder filters out the noise and intelligently prioritizes your results by business context. Receive remediation advice, measure your cyber hygiene, and track how long it takes to fix issues.
Speed up detection and response
Integrate Intruder with your cloud accounts to automate the discovery and scanning of new external assets. Get notified via Teams, Slack or email when a scan is complete, a risk has been identified or new systems come online to easily stay ahead of potential weaknesses.
Stop threats in their tracks
With 65+ new vulnerabilities discovered daily, most businesses don't have the time or expertise to stay on top of them. Intruder works to protect customers of all sizes from known emerging threats and discovered threats in the wild. So, when attackers are alerted to emerging vulnerabilities, we are too - and we are already checking your systems for them.

A vulnerability assessment is an analysis of vulnerabilities in an IT system at a certain point in time, with the aim of identifying the system’s weaknesses before hackers can get hold of them. As humans, we all make mistakes, and because software is written by humans, it inevitably contains bugs. While many bugs are harmless in nature, some turn out to be exploitable vulnerabilities placing the usability and security of the system at risk. This is where a vulnerability assessment comes in, to help organizations identify vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS), before hackers are able to exploit them.
Regular vulnerability assessments are critical to a strong cyber security posture. The sheer number of vulnerabilities that exist and the complexity of the average company’s digital infrastructure mean an organization is almost guaranteed to have at least one unpatched vulnerability that places it at risk. Finding these vulnerabilities before an attacker does can mean the difference between a failed attack and a costly and embarrassing data breach or ransomware infection.
One of the great things about vulnerability assessments is you can do it yourself and even automate the process. By getting the right tools and performing regular vulnerability scans, you can dramatically decrease your cyber security risk.
Intruder’s vulnerability assessment software covers internal vulnerability scanning, external vulnerability scanning, and application vulnerability scanning (including web apps, APIs, and SPAs), and checks for 140,000+ infrastructure weaknesses and 75+ application vulnerabilities. Learn more about what checks we run.
When you integrate Intruder with your Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform accounts, it will automatically add new external IP addresses or hostnames as targets. You can enable Intruder to automatically scan new targets as they are added, and create rules to control what’s imported. Head to our help article to learn more.
When a new vulnerability is discovered in software deployed on your perimeter, Intruder scans your systems and alerts you to newly discovered vulnerabilities automatically. This kind of proactive action is essential for businesses that don’t have processes in place to research the latest threats and manually run scans for them. Learn more.
Intruder’s Rapid Response is manually carried out by our security team to check for the latest critical weaknesses hitting the news, including some that our scanners don't have checks for yet or ones that are better detected by a person.
When a threat is identified, we'll scan your systems and notify you if we suspect that any could be affected. We will also send you an advisory with further details and recommendations.
