Intruder Launches GregAI: An AI-Powered Security Assistant for Overwhelmed Teams
The cybersecurity landscape is relentlessly complex,and security teams – especially those operating with limited resources – are often drowning in alerts and manual tasks. Intruder, a leading vulnerability management platform, is tackling this challenge head-on with the launch of GregAI, a new AI-powered assistant designed to streamline workflows, accelerate response times, and ultimately, bolster an organization’s security posture. Currently in beta and available to Intruder Cloud, Pro, and Enterprise customers, and also through a free trial, GregAI isn’t just another generic AI tool; it’s a context-aware virtual security analyst built on the foundation of live Intruder platform data.The Origin Story: A happy Accident & A Nod to History
The name “GregAI” itself has a charming backstory. It’s a tribute to Intruder’s original mascot, born from a playful mix-up during a design file transfer involving a designer named Greg. This lighthearted origin belies the serious power this assistant brings to the table.
Why GregAI Matters: Addressing the Core challenges of Modern Security
security professionals are constantly bombarded with vulnerability data. Prioritizing risks, validating findings, and communicating effectively with leadership are time-consuming processes that often detract from critical remediation efforts. GregAI directly addresses these pain points by automating and augmenting key workflows.
“Every minute you spend wrestling with cumbersome tools is a minute you’re not patched,” explains Chris Wallis, Intruder’s CEO and founder. “GregAI represents our commitment to making cybersecurity accessible and efficient for companies of all sizes. Unlike generic AI assistants that lack security context, GregAI understands your actual surroundings and can provide actionable guidance based on your real vulnerabilities and infrastructure.”
Beyond Alerts: Actionable Insights Driven by Real-Time Data
What sets GregAI apart is its ability to leverage the live data within the Intruder platform. This isn’t about analyzing static reports; it’s about providing dynamic, context-aware insights. Here’s how it works in practice:
Natural Language Queries: Users can interact with GregAI using plain English. Instead of navigating complex dashboards, simply ask questions like, “Show me the critical vulnerabilities for our web apps and suggest which to prioritize based on exploitability and business impact.” GregAI will deliver a tailored analysis specific to your organization’s infrastructure and risk profile. Detailed Validation Guidance: GregAI doesn’t just identify vulnerabilities; it helps you validate them.Such as, if you ask for guidance on a SQL injection issue, the assistant provides step-by-step instructions tailored to your specific technology stack, accelerating the path from detection to resolution.
Executive-Level Reporting: Communicating security risks to leadership can be challenging. GregAI simplifies this process by generating concise, data-driven summaries. A prompt like, “Summarize our current vulnerabilities and cyber hygiene progress over the past three months for the leadership team,” will produce a report suitable for executive review, based on real-time platform data.
Remediation Support: GregAI offers customized advice for fixing vulnerabilities, taking into account your unique infrastructure and configurations.
The Future of GregAI: Towards a Fully-fledged Virtual Security Analyst
Intruder isn’t stopping here. The company has ambitious plans to expand gregai’s capabilities, including:
Automated Platform Actions: Imagine being able to launch scans, add new assets, or update security policies simply by using natural language commands. Intruder is actively developing this functionality.
Automated False Positive Validation: Reducing alert fatigue is a major priority. Intruder is working on AI-driven features to automatically validate and dismiss false positives, freeing up security teams to focus on genuine threats.
“Our vision for AI at Intruder is to empower lean security teams with a fully-fledged virtual security analyst,” says Andy Hornegold, Vice President of Product at Intruder. “GregAI’s skillset is developing rapidly, and we’ve started work on automated false positive validation and other AI-driven functionality that frees up even more time for security teams.”
