Intruder Adds Container Image Scanning to Cloud Security Platform
Event summary
- Intruder launched Container Image Scanning on April 9, 2026, integrating with AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure registries.
- The feature scans container images daily for vulnerabilities without requiring agent deployment.
- Scanning focuses on actively used images, reducing noise from deprecated or unused ones.

This positions Intruder to capture market share among security teams struggling with complex container security configurations.
