JumpStart Threat Scanner

Updated Sep 25, 2023

JumpStart Threat Scanner

You can use the JumpStart Threat Scanner services to scan your public-facing IP addresses and domains for a targeted list of critical vulnerabilities.

Threat Scanner is available as a 30-day trial or a paid subscription service. The JumpStart Threat Scanner subscription service supports up to 1,000 domains, up to 1,000 IP addresses, automatic scans, and 10 daily on-demand scans. The JumpStart Threat Scanner trial offers full Threat Scanner functionality for the 30-day trial period.

Note: If you do not purchase an annual subscription when your JumpStart Threat Scanner trial ends, you are automatically downgraded to JumpStart Threat Scanner Lite, which supports one manual scan per day for a single domain or IP address.

First-time configuration

The first time a user in your organization opens the JumpStart Threat Scanner tile, they are prompted to enter the locations they wish to scan. You cannot run a scan until you have entered at least one IP address or domain. Locations are shared across users in an organization, so subsequent users won’t be prompted to enter additional locations. See Edit scan locations for more information about adding IP addresses and domains.
