Last updated: September 17, 2026
Use the Scanning page to configure scans, run scans immediately, create recurring schedules, and review scan history.
At the MSP level, scans can be configured for tenants within your access scope.
At the tenant level, scans are scoped to the current tenant.
Choose a Scan Type
Select New Scan and choose the type of scan you want to run.

1. Vulnerability Scans
Network Vulnerability Scan
Discovers assets and vulnerabilities across an internal network.
Off-cycle External Vulnerability Scan
Scans public IP addresses for external vulnerabilities.
Off-cycle Web Application Scan
Scans websites and web applications for vulnerabilities.
2. Data Scans
Cloud Scan – Scans supported Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace services for sensitive data.
3. Active Directory
AD Scan – Scans Active Directory or Entra ID for identity-related risks.
Configure a Network Vulnerability Scan
Select a port profile.
Enter the network range to scan.
Add any addresses or ranges that should be excluded.
Select an agent to use as the scan probe.
Continue to scheduling.
The selected agent acts as the probe from which the network scan is performed.

Configure an External Vulnerability Scan
Enter the public IP addresses you want to scan and any addresses or ranges that should be excluded.
External IPs added to a tenant are automatically scanned monthly. Use an off-cycle scan when you need to run an additional scan outside the default schedule.

Configure a Web Application Scan
Enter the web application URL.
Add additional targets if needed.
If authentication is required, select Add Auth and enter the authentication information.
Continue to scheduling.
Authentication can be configured separately for each URL.

Cloud scans require a configured Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace integration.

Available targets depend on the selected service. For example, an Outlook scan can target specific mailboxes or all mailboxes and include a selected history range.
