Our take
Intruder is a proactive security monitoring platform for internet-facing systems. It aims to help organisations reduce their cyber attack exposure by providing effortless cyber security.
Intruder was founded in 2015 to help solve the information overload crisis in vulnerability management. Having worked both as an ethical hacker for tier one companies, and for blue teams defending critical national infrastructure, Founder Chris Wallis noticed that while vulnerability management tools were great at finding issues, they were less useful when it came to prioritising them, tracking them, and timely alerting when problems arose. Quite simply - the most important issues were often getting lost in the noise. Intruder aims to help divide the needles from the haystack, focusing on what matters, while ignoring the rest. Effective cyber security is about getting the basics right - Intruder helps clients do that, saving time on the easy stuff, so they can focus on the rest.
Intruder believes that cyber threats are ever-changing and require dedicated oversight while existing services are overly complex to configure and operate. The jargon produced is often confusing, requiring specialist interpretation. Intruder aspires to provide a simple cloud-based security solution which continually scans clients' digital assets, highlighting vulnerabilities and outlining remediation advice in the simplest terms.
