  • Intruder's AI Pentesting for web applications launches in minutes and completes in hours at 25% or less of manual pentest costs.

  • The platform integrates with GitHub and GitLab for white-box pentests with full codebase awareness.

  • AI agents are built and trained by CREST-certified pentesters to reason through applications like human testers.

  • Results include audit-level reporting for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other compliance frameworks.

  • Prices start from $3,500 per test with discounted introductory pricing for early adopters.

  • The launch follows Intruder's issue-level investigations release last quarter.

Intruder Announces AI Pentesting for Web Applications

Intruder, a leader in exposure management, today announced the launch of AI Pentesting for web applications, providing on-demand penetration testing. Following its initial release of issue-level investigations last quarter, the platform now allows organizations to securely connect their codebases via GitHub or GitLab to automatically scope and launch penetration tests in minutes, with results and audit-ready reporting in hours.

The Need for Continuous Web Application Testing

Mythos and Daybreak have proven that AI is extremely adept at finding security vulnerabilities. At the same time, AI is accelerating attacker capability. Annual pentests do not offer organizations the same level of protection they once did, and are misaligned to the way businesses are shipping code today. Major deployments are happening weekly, and without more frequent pentesting, security and engineering risk falling dangerously out of step.

According to Intruder's latest survey, The Security Middle Child Report, 49% of security leaders cite AI and automation as their top investment priority for 2026. Meanwhile, AI-assisted "vibe coding" is shipping insecure code faster. Engineering teams moving quickly with AI coding assistants are introducing new application vulnerabilities at pace, without sufficient security review, creating a growing need for continuous app testing.

On-Demand Pentesting Capabilities

Intruder's web application penetration testing is powered by autonomous AI agents that actively discover weaknesses across application ecosystems. Intruder's AI Pentesting brings the strategic depth and creative problem-solving of a manual, human-led engagement into an automated framework that organizations can run on every release.

Designed to transform how modern engineering and security teams manage software risk, the framework delivers critical capabilities out of the box:

  • White-box pentests: Pentesting agents have full awareness of the system they are testing by ingesting the codebase.

  • Built by CREST-certified pentesters: Our pentests are run by AI built and trained by CREST-certified pentesters to operate and think like the best human pentesters.

  • Tests in minutes: Pentests run in minutes to hours, depending on the complexity of the web application being tested. No scoping or scheduling.

  • Audit-level reporting: A full pentest report is provided that can be used as evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and other compliance frameworks.

  • Affordable accessibility: Automated web application pentest costs 25% or less than a traditional manual engagement with results available in hours instead of weeks to months.

Executive Perspectives

"Our mission at Intruder has always been to make robust cybersecurity accessible to everyone," said Andy Hornegold, Chief Security Technologist at Intruder. "Providing web application testing marks an exciting step on that journey. By delivering the depth of a pentest on demand and at a fraction of the price, we're helping businesses keep up with an accelerating threat environment."

"Historically, the cost of a pentest has been very high and has taken a long time," said Chris Wallis, CEO and founder at Intruder. "In today's accelerated threat environment, that timeline and cost don't hold up. We're ensuring that resource-constrained small and medium-sized businesses aren't excluded from good security purely based on budget."

Customer Perspective

"Securing a global AI platform requires continuous defense," said Zach Rattner, CTO and co-founder at Yembo. "While Yembo continues to leverage human pentesters, annual assessments alone leave dangerous windows of exposure. Intruder's AI pentesting bridges that gap by delivering human-grade depth at machine speed to keep our platform permanently hardened."

Availability and Pricing

Full-Scale Web App Pentests are now available. Prices start from $3,500 per test and Intruder is offering discounted introductory pricing for early adopters. Existing Intruder customers can receive web app pentest findings directly alongside their attack surface, cloud, and vulnerability data.

Pentests are now available to new and existing customers. Existing Intruder platform customers can buy pentests within their Intruder account by navigating to the "Pentests" tab. New customers can scope and run a pentest via the Free plan.
