How do I get started scanning networks and systems?
To set up a network scan, please follow these steps.
1. Install a Scanner Appliance
A Scanner Appliance is used for scanning within your local networks behind your firewall. You can skip this step if you're only scanning publicly available assets. Here you will find the instructions for installing a Scanner Appliance for local scanning:

2. Create an asset (add hosts/IPs)
Add a host, IP range, or network you want to scan. When scanning IP address ranges, hosts will be added automatically.

3. Create a profile
Create a network scan profile with settings for how you want to perform the scan:

4. Schedule or run only once
Schedule a scan based on the profile:
