Choosing a Scanner Appliance

When you launch or schedule a scan you can choose to scan IPs on your network perimeter (external) or inside your corporate network (internal).

You will only see the Scanner Appliance option if you have scanner appliances in your account. If this option does not appear, then your scans will use external scanners automatically.

External Scanning

Choose "External" to scan IPs on your network perimeter using our external cloud scanners.

Internal Scanning

You have these options:

- Choose a single scanner appliance directly from the list by name.

- Choose the "Build my list" option to select one or more scanner appliances to distribute the scan job.

- Choose "All Scanners in TagSet" to select scanner appliances by tag. First you'll need to assign tags to your appliances by editing them. Then choose "IP Network Range" tags for the scan target. Learn more

- Choose "All Scanners in Asset Group" to scan target asset groups using a pool of scanner appliances defined for each asset group. Learn more

- Choose "All Scanners in Network" to launch scans using all the scanner appliances in the network you selected for the scan.  

- Choose "Default" with asset groups as your scan target and we'll use the default scanner appliance defined for each asset group. Choose "Default" with IP addresses as your scan target and we'll use our external cloud scanners.
