Getting Started with Security Scanner

What is Security Scanner?

Security Scanner is a tool used to automatically identify vulnerabilities and security risks within your systems, applications, or infrastructure. It helps organizations proactively detect weaknesses and take corrective actions before they can be exploited.

With Security Scanner, you can:

  • Identify vulnerabilities – Detect security issues across systems
  • Assess risk levels – Classify findings based on severity
  • Monitor scan results – Track completed and failed scans
  • Improve security posture – Take action on identified risks

Risk type

Each finding is categorized based on its severity level:

  • Low – Minor issues with limited impact
  • Medium – Moderate vulnerabilities requiring attention
  • High – Critical vulnerabilities that need immediate action

Scan status

Each scan is assigned a status to indicate its execution result:

  • Completed – Scan finished successfully and results are available
  • Error – Scan failed or encountered issues during execution

What you see in the overview

The Security Scanner overview provides key information such as:

  • Scan name / target – System or asset being scanned
  • Risk type – Severity of detected vulnerabilities
  • Scan status – Completed or Error
  • Findings summary – Number of issues detected
  • Last scan date – Most recent scan execution

Tip

Prioritize fixing High risk findings first, especially from scans with Completed status. For scans with Error, investigate and rerun them to ensure no vulnerabilities are missed.
