What our customers say

I have used multiple vulnerability scanning tools, most of which were single-purpose and took a long time to configure. With Intruder, I got relevant, actionable results the first time I scanned and I don't have to set up a patchwork of different tools to get good coverage.

FAQ

What is a web application scanner?

Web application vulnerability scanners are a specialized type of vulnerability scanner which focus on finding weaknesses in web applications and websites. Traditionally, they work by ‘crawling’ through a site or application in a similar way as a search engine would, sending a range of probes to each page or form it finds to look for weaknesses.

How often should I run vulnerability scans?

We recommend conducting vulnerability scans at least monthly; however, your optimum scanning frequency will largely depend on the type of organization you’re tasked with securing, or the type of systems that you wish to scan. To get a better understanding of how frequently you should run your vulnerability scans, read our helpful guide.

Should I perform web application vulnerability scanning or penetration testing?

The two services complement each other, so ideally you should do both for optimal web application security. An experienced penetration tester can find issues that are not detectable by machines, for example, by chaining several minor weaknesses together to discover a hidden critical vulnerability. On the other hand, vulnerability scanners can help you automate your security checks and provide continuous protection in the periods between manual in-depth tests.  

It’s important to point out though that penetration testers typically perform vulnerability scanning as part of their assessments, so if you’re just getting started and want to gain an overview of the state of your security, you will benefit from running a vulnerability scan first.  

Do you offer web application penetration testing services?

Yes, we do! At Intruder we have a team of certified expert security professionals who are skilled in many types of penetration testing services, including web application testing. Visit our penetration testing page to find out more.

Why is authenticated web application scanning important?

Authenticated web application scanning allows you to find vulnerabilities which exist behind the login pages of your applications. Each web application is different, but some of the most critical functionality in an application exists behind a login page, such as the ability to add data to your account, edit data, delete data, upload files, interact with other users. As a result, a large percentage of the attack surface of an application can exist behind a login page.

What is AppSec?

AppSec is short for application security. It refers to the ongoing process of finding, fixing, and preventing security vulnerabilities in applications, such as carrying out continuous vulnerability scanning.
