Intruder, a company specialising in exposure management, has launched its Free Plan, providing small and mid-sized organisations with professional-grade vulnerability management, cloud security and attack surface monitoring, at no cost.
The Free Plan gives security, IT and DevOps teams access to the core capabilities they need to identify and remediate the risks attackers are most likely to exploit.
Same Threats for Companies of all Sizes
Smaller businesses face the same cyber threats as the world’s biggest companies, but they don’t have the same budgets or security teams. Many rely on a mix of disconnected security tools that are difficult to manage, leading to alert overload and making it easier for serious threats to go unnoticed.
Intruder’s Security Middle Child research found that 46% of midmarket security teams say enterprise platforms assume more staff, budget, or complexity than they can support. Another 29% say tools built for smaller businesses no longer meet their needs. Teams are caught in a gap the vendor market has largely ignored.
Free Plan
Intruder’s Free plan closes that gap with permanent access to professional-grade coverage. It’s built for businesses with small attack surfaces, or practitioners responsible for a small portion of a bigger attack surface, freeing lean teams to focus on fixing what attackers are most likely to exploit.
The Free plan also removes the single biggest barrier to adoption of appropriate security tooling for small and medium sized organisations: cost. Intruder’s Free plan lets security practitioners prove value through improved risk visibility, always-on monitoring, and reduced time to remediation before scaling coverage and moving to a paid plan. They can connect a target, integrate a cloud environment, and surface real exposures in their environment the same day.
Chris Wallis, CEO and founder of Intruder, comments:
“Security and IT teams at small and medium-sized businesses face the same risks as their enterprise counterparts, but they’ve been priced out of the tools that would actually help them avoid breaches. We built Intruder to enable security for the 99%, and our Free plan is the logical extension of that commitment. Intruder benefits from using open source software as part of our offering. Offering a free plan allows us to give back to the security community, which shouldn’t need a six-figure security budget and 10-person team to stay secure.”
