Intruder, a leader in exposure management, has extended its Cloud Security solution to support Google Cloud Platform, enhancing visibility and protection across multi-cloud environments. This addition allows organizations using AWS, Microsoft Azure, and now GCP to manage their cloud security posture from a single platform, addressing rising risks from misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in hybrid setups.
As organizations increasingly adopt multi-cloud strategies, visibility gaps in security create significant risks, contributing to a rise in cloud breaches. Intruder Cloud Security bridges these gaps by offering a centralized view of multi-cloud environments, integrating seamlessly with the platform's existing vulnerability management and attack surface discovery features. This unified approach ensures comprehensive monitoring without the need for multiple tools.
The solution delivers agentless, daily automated scans that uncover threats invisible to external scanners, such as insecure positions and role-based access controls, exposed secrets and hard-coded credentials, misconfigured firewall settings and exposed services, and missing security controls. By alerting users promptly, Intruder helps prevent minor errors from escalating into major incidents, maintaining robust cloud security.
Under shared responsibility models from cloud providers, customers bear the burden of securing their configurations, yet native tools often lack full oversight and usability for smaller teams. Enterprise-grade alternatives prove too costly for SMBs. Intruder Cloud Security counters these issues by providing affordable, intuitive management that prevents a single misconfiguration from leading to a breach, all at a fraction of the cost of high-end solutions.
“The concept that the cloud is secure by default is a myth – companies can easily misconfigure their cloud security settings, which causes their cloud environments to be breached,” said Andy Hornegold, Vice President of Product at Intruder. “We’re on a mission to deliver unified exposure management by providing exceptional user experience. The introduction of cloud security alongside our existing vulnerability management and attack surface discovery capabilities maintains the gold standard of user experience that our customers expect.”
Available immediately within the Intruder platform for free trial users and those on Cloud, Pro, and Enterprise plans, this expansion democratizes advanced cloud security, empowering lean teams to proactively mitigate risks and safeguard their infrastructures effectively.
Intruder’s exposure management platform helps lean security teams stop breaches before they start by proactively discovering attack surface weaknesses. By unifying attack surface management, cloud security and continuous vulnerability management in one intuitive platform, Intruder makes it easy to stay secure by cutting through the noise and complexity. Founded in 2015 by Chris Wallis, a former ethical hacker turned corporate blue teamer, Intruder is now protecting over 3,000 companies worldwide.
