Tagging your targets

Use the tag function to filter, organise and group targets

Updated this week

Want to easily identify all your 'staging' assets? Restrict user visibility to a region? Or download a report for the targets you're responsible for?

Either way, it's all possible with tagging - and it couldn't be easier – three simple steps, it's all done!

Jump to the point of interest:


Manually assign tags

...when adding new targets

  1. Head to the targets page and click the 'Add Target' button

  2. Enter the details for the new target (e.g. external IP/domain or Internal target name)

  3. Assign a tag using the Tag field:

    1. To assign an existing tag, pick a tag from the dropdown and press Enter.

    2. To assign a new tag to your selected target(s), simply type a tag name and hit Enter.

4. Finally, press 'Add Target', et voila! ✨


...to existing targets

From the Targets page:

  1. Head to your Targets page, select the targets, and hit the Tag button.

2. You can either add an existing tag or create a new one. Once you've made your choice, just hit 'Save Changes'.


From the target's detail page

  1. Click the Add tag button.

2. As above, you can either add an existing tag or create a new one. Once you've made your choice, just hit 'Save Changes'.


Automatically import cloud tags

You also have the option to sync your cloud tags once the targets have been imported. To do this:

  1. Go to your Targets page > Discovery > click your desired cloud integration > Settings.

  2. The Settings pane will appear on the right-hand side with the option to turn on 'Import AWS Tags'. This will copy across any tags assigned on the cloud provider's end, and replicate them into Intruder.

  3. There is also the option to assign a tag to all targets imported via CloudBot. You can do this by turning on 'Assign Tags' and selecting a desired tag.

These tags will then be shown against each of your Cloud targets as shown below:


These tags are read-only as they are pulled directly from the cloud provider, and therefore, you cannot modify or rename them from within the Intruder portal. If you make any changes to these tags on your cloud platform, these will be reflected on Intruder on the next CloudBot sync.


Using your tags

Just use the drop-down to select the tag(s) that you would like to see reflected on the dashboard.

On the Reports page, you can filter by tag, target, and date period, with the option to download either a PDF or CSV report.

Limit user visibility

You can set the permissions when adding the user for the first time, or by clicking ... and hitting Edit.

Choose between a scan user and a read-only user (the specific permissions of each role are covered in this article):

(For those on Enterprise / Vanguard, you can also Restrict access to specific tags):


Managing tags

To manage tags, head to Targets > Tags

Clicking on the pencil (edit) button will allow you to edit the tag name, the targets it's assigned to, and the users that have access to it.

Absolutely. Just head to your Targets page > filter by Internal > select all > hit the Tag button and assign the desired tag or create a new one:

Absolutely, just follow the steps above. Select the cloud account you're interested in > select all > and hit the Tag button.
