Scan Assets

This section helps to understand the steps to scan your network. Before you initiate your scan, you must ensure a few checkpoints/pre-configurations.

Tips and Best Practices

This step is recommended if you have defined custom networks in your Qualys account.

By default, a new Virtual Scanner Appliance is placed in the Global Default Network, and when a scan is performed, host scan data is added to that network. We recommend you move this Virtual Appliance to the desired network before scanning a custom network.

1. Go to Assets > Networks.
2. Edit the network where you want to move the Virtual Appliance.
3. Add the appliance to that network.
