Note: CloudBot is only available for customers on our Pro, Premium and Vanguard plans.
Activate CloudBot
You can enable it two ways:
When you first add the cloud account:
Protect targets on your cloud account 👉 Import your cloud targets into Intruder
Without any additional effort, your targets will be auto-enrolled in any scans set to run on all targets.
Run scans against your cloud tags 👉 Import you cloud tags
Use them to organize and manage your targets, scans and portal more effectively.
Immediately scan new targets 👉 Scan your targets on import
Automatically scan newly detected and imported cloud targets.
Once the cloud account has already been added:
Head to Targets page > Select the cloud account > Settings > toggle Auto-add targets to on (the toggle will turn green) and hit refresh:
Manage what gets imported
Auto-add (all) targets
Automatically adds cloud targets to the Intruder portal when instances are spun up and removes them when targets are decommissioned in your cloud account.
Please be aware, Auto-add target will not add any targets previously excluded from scanning, You'll need to add those manually.
Add targets based on a rule
Only assets that adhere to that rule will be added to the Intruder platform; this applies to present targets as well as any future ones that we find.
You can add as many rules you like.
⚠️ It's worth noting that enabling a rule, will remove any previously imported cloud targets that don't adhere to it.
Head to the Targets page > click on the relevant cloud account > click
Settings> Selective sync, click+ Add rule
Use the dropdown to select one of the options:
Use the next dropdown to make your choice:
As soon as it's been added you'll see the rule appear and your targets will update. Clicking the trash can emoji will delete it.
Remove imported targets
Maybe you accidentally imported the wrong thing; want to exclude one or two from a valid rule, or simply don't want your licenses being assigned yet, we've got you covered. Just select from the list and hit the Exclude button:
Manage what gets scanned
Auto-scan targets
Any cloud assets matching your import rules will be scanned as soon as they're detected + added to the platform.
Head to your Targets > Cloud accounts > Click account > Settings > Auto-scan targets
If you don't enable Auto-scan targets, your asset(s) will be scanned as soon as an 'all target' scan runs, or you kick off a manual scan with it included
Where can I see these scans?
Any scans kicked off automatically by CloudBot will be shown on the Scans page, just filter by
Cloudbot scanas shown below:
Disable CloudBot
Head to Targets page > Settings button > toggle Auto-add targets to off > confirm the change by pressing Turn off on the modal that appears.
All targets already imported will remain, but any news ones that appears in your cloud account will need to be added manually.
Once Cloudbot has been disabled, you can easily add targets manually. Just click the green + button:
Tracking CloudBot activity
