Once you create a scan or import vulnerabilities reports/scans from other tools into Autobahn Fit, these scans are displayed on the Scanning page. When the scan name is clicked, you will be directed to the Scan Report page.
The scan report for 1) scans created in the Autobahn Fit platform and 2) imported vulnerabilities reports/scans are identical, with the only difference being that scans created through Autobahn Fit have the option to re-scan. The Scan Report page provides access to details such as Issues, Assets, and Workouts (remediation guides) collected during the scan.
1. Navigate to the Scan Report page
To open the Scan Report page, click the Scanning button on the navigation sidebar of the Autobahn Fit platform.
You find a list of scans and imported vulnerabilities/reports displayed on this page, divided into Scheduled and All scans. Click on a scan name to open its Scan Report.
2. Learn more about the details of a running scan
If you open a scan that is still running, you will see a similar screen as below:
The following data is presented:
- Origin: The engine that is used to run the scan (Autobahn Fit's external scanning engine, an internal scan or imported from another vulnerability management tool).
- Discovering host: The status of host discovery. The scanned open service and non-live host sections (see below in the screenshot) are visible when the status is finished. Otherwise, it will not yet show the number of open services and alive hosts.
- Scanning for vulnerabilities: The status of the scan. Learn more about statuses in this guide.
- Revision: Indicates the number of times the scan has been re-scanned.
- Elapsed time: The time that the scan has been running. The duration of the scan depends on the number of targets.
- Assignee: The person assigned to the scan. Usually selected during the scan creation, but you can change the assignee in the Scanning page.
- Description: Description that was added during the scan creation.
Scanned open services: The ports that have been scanned by our engine.
Non alive hosts: Hosts that were inputted as targets, but were detected as non-alive.
Manual targets: The targets that you added manually during the scan creation.
Ports: The ports that you selected/added during the scan creation.
You can click the arrow button to open and hide each section.
3. Learn more about the details of a finished scan
On the Scanning page, when you see scans with "Finished" status, it could mean that:
- The scan created using the Autobahn Fit scan engine has completed.
- The scan created based on the imported vulnerabilities/reports (ex: CyCognito, MS Defender for Endpoint, etc) is done importing.
Clicking the name of a finished scan will direct you to the Scan Report page.
The Scan Report page is divided into several sections:
Issues overview
The total number of issues detected in the scan is categorized by severity ratings.
General details
- Assignee: the person assigned to the scan. You can change the assignee by clicking the Edit button.
- Asset tags: tag/label implemented to assets within this scan.
- Origin: the engine that was used to run the scan.
- Completed on: the timestamp indicating when the scan finalized.
- Started on: the timestamp indicating when the scan started.
- Number of live Assets: the number of assets scanned for vulnerabilities.
- Revision: indicates the number of times the scan has been re-scanned.
- Description: description (if any) that was added during the scan creation.
- Schedule: if during the scan creation, you selected a schedule, the schedule will be displayed here.
You can click on the Edit button to update the assignee and asset tags of this scan. Please note that the assignee of a scan automatically becomes the assignee of the assets within the scan.
Severity distribution
This chart maps the severity distribution. You could use this chart to communicate the current security posture of a specific department that you just scanned to the management board.
Cyber Fitness Workouts
List of Workouts (remediation guides) crafted for the vulnerabilities found in your scan. Click on the Workout(s) to view the remediation steps.
Individual issues
List of identified issues discovered during the scan.
Assets
List of assets that have been scanned.
Non-alive hosts
Detected hosts that were inserted as targets, but were found to be non-alive.
Targets
Targets you selected/added during the scan creation.
Ports
Ports you selected/added during the scan creation.
4. Download a scan report
Autobahn Fit gives you the option to download a Scan Report or a Scan Scope. To download them:
1 - Click the Download button on the top right.
2 - Select the report you want to download. Your report should be automatically downloaded. Please allow the platform some time to generate the report.
5. Re-scan the scope of a scan
By utilizing the re-scan function, you can save time when running a scan with the same scope as your previous scans. This feature eliminates the need to add scan targets and configurations repeatedly. It is important to re-scan your assets regularly to ensure that remediated issues are closed and do not resurface.
Note: This feature only works for scans initiated through Autobahn Fit. It is not available for reports/scans imported from other tools.
To initiate a re-scan, navigate to the Scan Report page or the Scanning page.
a. On the Scan Report page, you can find the Rescan button in the top-right corner of your screen.
You cannot find this button if the scan status is canceled or in progress.
2 - Click the Rescan button. The system will show a confirmation pop-up. If you wish to proceed, click ‘Yes’.
3 - There will be a notification in the top-right corner of your screen, saying that the system is starting the re-scan process. If the re-scan is started successfully, the notification pop-up will change.
4 - After successfully re-scanning the scan, check the status of your scan by navigating to the Scanning page.
On this page, you should see your scan and the status of the scan should be ‘Running’. The number of the scan revision will increase by one. The last scan revision refers to the one being re-scanned.
