Managing a Network Perimeter Security Scan

Overview

This guide explains how to manage Network Perimeter Risk scans in DeepTraQ. The scan dashboard provides a centralized location where security teams can monitor, control, and manage all perimeter scans across their infrastructure.

From the dashboard, teams can:

• Monitor scan status and execution health
• Review vulnerability findings and severity distribution
• Update scan configurations
• Re-run or stop scans when required
• Download security reports for different audiences

This management interface allows security teams to quickly track their network security posture and take action when new risks are discovered.
