Scan Management Overview

​
Overview

Scan Management provides full lifecycle control over every scan performed by Snapsec’s Vulnerability Scanner.
From this module, you can:
  • Launch manual or automated scans
  • Group related scans for organized workflows
  • Schedule recurring weekly or monthly scans
  • Track scan progress and completion
  • Review historical executions and statuses
This ensures consistent and repeatable vulnerability coverage across all assets.

​
Scan Actions

Create New Scan

Define scan name, asset scope, scanner engine, and configuration settings to launch a new test instantly.

Run On-Demand Scans

Trigger immediate scans whenever new deployments or suspicious activity occurs.

Schedule Recurring Scans

Automate weekly, monthly, or custom scan intervals across specific assets or groups.

Group-Based Scanning

Organize related scan tasks into logical groups (e.g., Production APIs, Internal Apps).

​
Scan Table & Insights

Scan Table View

Each scan entry provides important metadata for operational clarity:
ColumnDescription
Scan NameTitle assigned to the scan
AssetsNumber of assets included in the scan
ScannerScanner engine used (API, Web, Network, etc.)
Created OnTimestamp when the scan was created
Last ExecutedLast time the scan was run
RunsTotal number of executions
ActionsOptions to Run, Edit, or Delete

​
Scheduling & Automation

Scan Scheduling Panel

A powerful scheduler allows you to automate scan cycles:

​
Supported Frequencies

  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Monthly
  • Custom intervals
Scheduling scans ensures continuous security checks without manual intervention.

​
Scan Runs (Execution History)

Scan Runs Overview

The Scan Runs tab shows execution history for each scan, including:
  • Execution status (Success, Failed, In Progress)
  • Total vulnerabilities found
  • Severity distribution
  • Duration & timestamps
  • Linked assets and scanner types
This timeline helps analysts track improvement or regression across repeated assessments.

​
Key Benefits

Operational Consistency

Automated and recurring scans ensure continuous visibility across changing environments.

Faster Response

On-demand scans validate new deployments or investigate emerging threats instantly.

Reduced Complexity

Scan groups simplify management for large organizations with many assets.

Historical Tracking

Review past runs to measure remediation effectiveness and long-term trends.
