Intruder, a leader in exposure management, today announced the launch of its Free plan, providing security, IT, and DevOps teams ongoing access to professional-grade vulnerability management, cloud security, and attack surface management at no cost. Smaller organizations face the same threats as Fortune 500 companies, but without the budgets and headcount to match. Mid-sized businesses appear in breach headlines week after week, yet many still lack access to the tooling that would help them stay ahead.
Intruder launches Free plan with permanent access to professional-grade tools.
46% of midmarket security teams say enterprise platforms assume more staff/budget than they can support.
Features include weekly scans for 5 external targets, 1 cloud environment, 2 container images.
Attack surface monitoring on ports 80 and 443 with continuous change monitoring.
AI pentesting with 1 automated investigation credit per month.
Support for up to 3 users.
Intruder's Security Middle Child research found that 46% of midmarket security teams say enterprise platforms assume more staff, budget, or complexity than they can support. Another 29% say tools built for smaller businesses no longer meet their needs. Teams are caught in a gap the vendor market has largely ignored. Intruder's Free plan closes that gap with permanent access to professional-grade coverage. It's built for businesses with small attack surfaces, or practitioners responsible for a small portion of a bigger attack surface.
The Free plan includes vulnerability management with weekly scheduled scans for up to 5 external targets; cloud security posture management with weekly misconfiguration checks across one cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud); container image scanning with weekly scans for 2 container images; attack surface monitoring with continuous change monitoring on ports 80 and 443; remediation validation with unlimited scans to validate fixes; a cyber hygiene score to track security posture over time; AI pentesting with 1 automated investigation credit per month; and support for up to 3 users.
Chris Wallis, CEO and founder of Intruder, stated: "Security and IT teams at small and medium-sized businesses face the same risks as their enterprise counterparts, but they've been priced out of the tools that would actually help them avoid breaches. We built Intruder to enable security for the 99%, and our Free plan is the logical extension of that commitment. Offering a free plan allows us to give back to the security community, which shouldn't need a six-figure security budget and 10-person team to stay secure."
Small and scaling businesses carry real exposure but often lack the budget for professional tooling, leaving them to rely on manual processes, patchwork solutions or no tooling at all. Intruder's Free plan lets security practitioners prove value through improved risk visibility, always-on monitoring, and reduced time to remediation before scaling coverage and moving to a paid plan. They can connect a target, integrate a cloud environment and surface real exposures the same day.
