Overview

The Scans section is where you execute and manage security scans in WAS.
It provides visibility into scan execution status, applied rules, progress, and discovered vulnerabilities.

​
Scans Overview

The Scans Overview lists all scans executed in the workspace with real-time status and results. Each scan entry displays:
  • Scan Name — User-defined identifier
  • Status — Completed or in-progress
  • Rules — Number of rules applied
  • Progress — Requests processed vs total
  • Vulnerabilities — Severity-wise breakdown (C / H / M / L)
  • Actions — Re-run or delete scan
This view helps teams quickly assess scan health, coverage, and security findings across projects.

​
Create Scan

Use Create Scan to launch a new security scan. You can configure:
  • Name & Description — Identify the scan purpose
  • Rules (optional) — Select specific detection rules
  • Environments — Choose environment variables for execution
  • Collections — Target API collections
  • Projects — Associate scan with projects
  • Auth Profile — Apply authentication logic
  • Scope — Limit scan to specific paths or endpoints
Once created, WAS executes the scan and tracks progress automatically.
