Refresh Scan Feature: Running a Scan in BrandSek

The Refresh Scan button in BrandSek allows you to initiate or manually run a scan for a specific client. This feature is useful when you need to perform an immediate check for vulnerabilities or updates to the client’s security posture.


Instructions to Run a Scan

  1. Access the Client Panel:

  2. Locate the Client:

    • Use the search bar to find the client by name, or scroll through the list of clients on the dashboard.
  3. Run a Scan:

    • In the Actions column next to the client’s entry, click on the "Refresh" button.
    • This action will initiate a new scan for the client’s domains, IPs, and services based on the configured settings.
  4. Monitor the Scan Progress:

    • Once the scan begins, you may see a progress indicator or notification.
    • Wait for the scan to complete. Depending on the scope of the client’s assets, the scan may take a few minutes.
  5. View Scan Results:

    • After the scan finishes, updated results will be available in the client’s Details section.
    • Click "Show Details" in the Actions column to review the findings, including any detected vulnerabilities or threats.

Key Benefits of Running a Scan

  • Immediate Updates: Ensures the latest threat intelligence and vulnerability assessment for the client.
  • Proactive Security: Identifies new risks or changes in the attack surface.
  • Customizable Scope: Automatically checks all configured domains, IPs, and services tied to the client.
