Using the Attack Surface & Vulnerability Scanner

This is the Attack Surface and vulnerability scanner setup guide, not the product marketing page. This tool shows what your organization exposes to the internet and checks those assets for known weaknesses, so you can fix the risky ones before an attacker finds them.

The Attack Surface and Vulnerability Scanner is part of the Plus and Premium packages. You can compare packages on our pricing page.

Add what you want scanned

  1. Open the Threat Intelligence Portal and go to Attack Surface in the menu.
  2. Add the assets you want to keep an eye on, such as a domain or a public IP address.
  3. Save your target so it appears in your list.

To make sure people only scan assets they own, new targets may need to be approved before scanning. If a target stays pending, ask your Q-Feeds administrator to approve it.

Start a scan

Select a target and start a scan. You can run a scan on demand, or schedule recurring scans so your attack surface is checked regularly without you having to remember.

Understand the findings

When the scan finishes you get a list of findings. For each one you can see:

  • The asset it affects.
  • A severity rating so you know what to fix first.
  • A short description of the issue and guidance on how to resolve it.

What next

Work through the findings from the highest severity down. Re-run the scan after you make changes to confirm the issue is resolved.
