Use External Scanner

External scanners are included in our service. They are used for network discovery and perimeter scanning and must be able to access target hosts.

External Scanner IPs

Go to Help > About to see the external scanner IP addresses for the SOC associated with your account/location. You may need to add the scanner IP addresses to your allow list.

External scanners do not scan private IPs. On doing so, the following error appears:
A virtual or physical scanner appliance is needed to scan an IP address within your internal network. Please enter a non-internal IP or use a scanner appliance.
