Intruder vs ZeusCloud

Intruder provides continuous vulnerability scanning for infrastructure, web applications, APIs, and cloud environments, with issue prioritization and remediation guidance. It ranks issues using exploit likelihood and real-world threat intelligence, while emerging-threat scans check systems within hours of new risks appearing. Cloud scans assess AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud environments for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposures. Authenticated dynamic application testing covers customer-controlled web apps and APIs, including OWASP Top 10 checks. Supported targets also include external IP addresses, domains, subdomains, internal Windows, macOS, and Linux devices, and container images. Integrations include cloud platforms, code hosts, issue trackers, chat services, Vanta, and Drata. Its API can manage targets, view issues, start scans, and retrieve results. A free plan and 14-day trial are listed. The free plan covers five infrastructure targets and weekly external scans, but does not include web apps. Internal target scanning is available only on Pro and Enterprise plans. All customers receive live chat support.

ZeusCloud is a free, open-source, self-hosted platform for discovering, prioritizing, and remediating cloud security risks. It builds inventories of AWS account assets and monitors environments for attack paths and misconfigurations. The platform identifies combinations of risks that could let an attacker penetrate an environment. Access Explorer visualizes who can access what through an IAM visualization engine. Findings can be filtered, sorted, searched, and viewed with graphical context. Users can configure active rules, mute alerts, and modify or write rules as security as code. Step-by-step remediation guidance accompanies findings. The project describes support for PCI DSS and CIS benchmarks and uses Cartography for asset inventory; integrations with vulnerability and secret scanners are listed as roadmap items. The quick start clones the repository, runs make quick-deploy, and opens the interface at localhost:80. An enterprise cloud-hosted offering is available by contacting the maker. The project advises against public exposure and recommends current versions for security patches.
