We didn't start Intruder to re-invent the wheel; there were already tons of vulnerability scanners out there with lots in common. In fact, when it comes down to the actual checks they perform, there isn't a huge difference between them, especially at the top end of the spectrum.
That said, we wanted to do things a little differently here, which is why we opted for four different scanners (OpenVAS, Nuclei, Tenable Nessus, and OWASP ZAP).
Our Plans
For more information on what is included in each of our plans, please see this article.
Free
Powered by Nuclei:
Nuclei is the open-source scanning engine with a large check library, supplemented by custom checks written by Intruder's security team.
The Free plan is the entry point to Intruder and covers your external attack surface for common, high-impact weaknesses.
Cloud
Powered by OpenVas and Nuclei:
This offering combines the world's leading open-source vulnerability scanning engine with Nuclei's extensive library of checks, along with the capability for the Intruder Security team to create and deploy additional custom checks.
This plan is tailored specifically for organizations utilising open-source platforms (such as hosting on WordPress sites) and not enterprise-level tools such as Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, or Ivanti.
Pro
Built upon Tenable Nessus:
Nessus is a commercial-grade scanning engine, used by large organisations and international Government bodies.
This solution caters to those that with a vast number of systems exposed to the internet, but it doesn’t stop at just the external perimeter; it covers internal systems and lots of enterprise software too.
Enterprise
Built upon Tenable Nessus and Nuclei:
Nuceli is an open-source vulnerability scanning engine popular with bug bounty hunters, penetration testers and researchers looking to produce repeatable checks for serious weaknesses.
This plan is geared towards young companies scaling quickly, with a large attack surface or cloud infrastructure, where there is a need for continuous monitoring and a desire for supplementary support.
Vanguard
Built upon Tenable Nessus and Nuclei.
This plan is a hybrid vulnerability management solution with our continuous penetration testing capability, combining two of the most powerful scanning engines for the most advanced coverage
This plan is most suited to those who would benefit from a team of security professionals dedicated to proactively identifying weaknesses in their assets.
Authenticated web-app & API scanning bolt-on
Users on Cloud plans and above also have the option to add a leading open-source web-app scanning engine to their armoury. OWASP ZAP is used to scan API schemas, as well as authenticated layers of a web-app and can be bolted onto any existing subscriptions.
