Automated Rescanning for DAST Vulnerability Scanner

The Automated Rescanning feature is integrated into your existing vulnerability management dashboard. From here, you can initiate scans, review vulnerabilities, and request rescans—all from a single, streamlined interface.

Getting Started with Automated Rescanning

Automated Rescanning allows you to verify whether the fixes you’ve deployed have resolved the detected vulnerabilities. Follow these steps to use this feature effectively.

1. Run a New Scan

• Start by triggering a new automated scan on your asset. This will identify vulnerabilities that need attention.

2. Review Detected Vulnerabilities

• Once the scan is complete, review the list of detected vulnerabilities. Select the ones you have addressed and deployed fixes for.

3. Select Vulnerabilities for Rescanning

• Choose the vulnerabilities you want to rescan. A popup will appear at the bottom of the screen, displaying:

1. The total number of selected vulnerabilities

2. A Rescan button

4. Request a Re-Scan

• Click on the Request a Re-Scan button. A slide-out panel will open, listing the selected vulnerabilities for review before the rescan starts. Once confirmed, the system will perform a focused verification to check if the fixes were effective.

5. Rescan a Specific Vulnerability Directly

• If you want to work on a single vulnerability, you can navigate directly to that vulnerability’s details page. From there, you will find a Rescan option available. Clicking this will allow you to request a focused rescan specifically for that vulnerability, verifying if the fix has been successful without needing to select it from the general list.
