Manage your scans with Autobahn Fit

Learn how to create, schedule, import, track and read scans and their results

Autobahn Fit enables you to regularly scan your systems and aggregate vulnerability results from other tools into the Autobahn Fit platform. All created scans, as well as integrated results from other tools, are displayed on the Scanning page. This article will guide you on how to import vulnerability scans from other tools, track created scans, and assign your scans.

1. Create a scan

Autobahn Fit empowers you to proactively safeguard your infrastructure from potential threats by creating a scan. Click the Create a Scan button on the Scanning page to open the Scan Creation page.

2. Import existing vulnerability scans/reports from other tools

To create a holistic view of your security posture, Autobahn Fit allows you to add vulnerability data from other tools to your organization. There are two options that support you to do this.

Integrate with other sources

You can incorporate vulnerability data from sources like Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Cisco Secure Load, Nessus, Qualys, and Tenable alongside your Autobahn Fit scans by clicking the Integrate button on the Scanning page. It will redirect you to the Integrations page, where you can integrate your existing vulnerability management tools with Autobahn Fit. Read more in this guide.

Upload vulnerability reports

You can import external results, such as those from penetration tests or red team exercises into Autobahn Fit by clicking the Import button. Read this article for more details.

3. View all scans and vulnerability reports

The Scanning page is divided into two sections: Scheduled Scans and All Scans. Once you schedule a scan, it will be added to the Scheduled Scans list. Learn how to schedule a scan with this guide.

Scans created with Autobahn Fit and vulnerability reports/scans imported and/or pulled through integration are displayed in All scans tables. To view reports from specific sources, you can filter the origin of the report:

1 - Click the filter button on the Origin column.

2 - Select the source and click the OK button.

4. View different scan statuses

In Autobahn Fit, there are several different scan statuses:

Running: scans that have been initiated and are currently in progress. You can easily track the progress by clicking on the scan name during this phase.

Finished: completed scans. When clicked, you will be directed to the Scan Report page of the selected scan. If the scan is created from integration, the results have to be synced for some time but will eventually also be awarded the status finished.

Scheduled: planned scans that are set to run at a specific time in the future.

Canceled: scans that have been started but then canceled.

Error: scans that have been started but failed; this can happen when a scan is stuck or when it took too long.

Queued: scans initiated with the same name as an ongoing scan.

To view scans with specific statuses, you can filter the table by the status. 

5. Assign scans

To keep track of your remediation process, we encourage you to assign your scans to team(s). Assigning scans will give visibility of the assets and issues within the scan to the person assigned.

While this can be done from the Create Scan and Scan Detail page, you can also edit multiple scan assignees from the Scanning page by following the steps below.

1 - Select the scan you wish to edit by clicking the checkbox at the left of the All scans table. The Edit Assignee button will appear on top of the table.

2 - Click the Edit assignee -> Add assignee.

3 - Select the assignee from the dropdown.

4 - Click the Apply button to apply the changes.

5 - A confirmation box will pop up. The Rescan function is only accessible for scans created within Autobahn Fit. Therefore, if you choose "Save and wait for rescan," the changes will be implemented immediately for scans from integration and manual uploads.

You can repeat this process to remove or change assignees.

6. Customize the All scans table

You can customize the table display by selecting and hiding specific columns using the Column Selection button. This feature allows you to tailor the view to your preferences, making it easier to focus on what is important to you.

1 - Click the Column selection button.

2 - By default, all columns are selected. To hide a column, uncheck the checkbox, then click the OK button to save the changes. The columns displayed in the table will be updated accordingly.
