Scans

Creating Tests

1From the Scans Setup page, click Create New Test in the top-right corner.
2Fill in the form fields described below.
3Click Create Test to save. You will be returned to the test list once it is created.

1. Form Fields

Choose the scan intensity:

Value	Description
Full	Performs a comprehensive port scan across all common ports for the target. No protocol selection required. It takes more time since it performs deep assessments. Well suited for periodic assessments.
Quick	Performs a faster, targeted scan. Requires selecting a specific protocol (see below). Best for frequent monitoring with lower overhead.

2. Test Name

A logical label for this test (e.g., "Production Web Server — Full Scan"). This name appears in the test list, dashboard widgets, reports, and CyfroAssistant responses.

3. Host or Subnet

The IP address or CIDR range to scan. Examples:

1Single host: 192.168.1.50/32
2Full subnet: 10.0.0.0/24

The Agent running the test will direct its scan probes to this target. Ensure the target is reachable from the machines where your Agents are installed.

4. Protocol (Quick scans only)

Visible only when Type is set to Quick. Select the transport protocol to scan:

Protocol	Use case
TCP	Standard web servers, SSH, databases - most services use TCP.
UDP	DNS, SNMP, syslog, and other UDP-based services.

5. Agents

Select one or more CyfroAgents to run this test. The scrollable list shows all Agents currently online in your Account Group. Use the Check all toggle to select every available Agent at once.

Assigning multiple Agents to a single test is useful for:

1Scanning the same target from different network segments to detect firewall asymmetry.
2Providing redundancy if one Agent goes offline.

6. Interval

How often the test runs automatically:

Option	Interval
1 hour	Every 60 minutes
6 hours	Every 6 hours
12 hours	Every 12 hours
24 hours	Once per day

Tests run on a recurring schedule starting from when they are created. There is no one-time or manual trigger option yet currently to schedule the test and let the platform run it.

Note: In instances where the chosen file path/filesystem is large, the scans may take longer than the interval.

Editing Existing Tests

1From the Scans Setup page, click the pencil (edit) icon next to the test you want to update.
2The edit form is pre-populated with the current values.
3Modify the fields as needed (all fields are editable, including the test type, target, agents, and interval).
4Click Update Test to save. You will be returned to the test list on success.

Note: Changing the Interval on an existing test takes effect immediately — the next scheduled run will use the new interval.

System Default Tests: Tests marked with the System badge were auto-provisioned when your Account Group was created (a default port-scan probe). You can edit these tests to adjust the target, agents, or schedule, but you cannot delete them.
