About Intruder
We stop breaches before they start.
As attackers become increasingly sophisticated and move at lightning speed, Intruder has positioned itself as the essential defense platform that helps organizations stay one step ahead.
We do this with a platform that is:
- Intelligent; we identify and help remediate issues that cause real breaches, and we provide meaningful context to the issues that we raise.
- Vigilant; our platform reacts to changes in our customers' attack surface and changes in the threat landscape in near-real time to close the window of opportunity for attackers.
- Accessible; our platform is the easiest to use on the market, we empower not just security teams but also those organizations who do not have the benefit of a dedicated security team - because when our customers can solve their security problems in seconds they can spend the rest of their time focusing on what matters.
You do not need to be a cyber expert to secure your business with Intruder - Intruder is your cyber expert.
In the past 2 years, we have grown rapidly in product capability, customer base, revenue, and employee size. The next few years promise more of the same, with plenty of growth opportunities for us and our teams!

What could my day look like?
- Meet with Chris each morning to review the day and priorities.

- Triage his inbox and messages, highlight what’s urgent, and keep him aligned with company priorities.
- Liaise with the leadership team, team members across the business, and external stakeholders including investors and partners. Coordination and follow up like a pro so our CEO, leadership and other stakeholders can work seamlessly together
