Scan Details​
Each scan shows:
- Scan timestamp and duration
- Targets scanned
- Detections found
- Severity breakdown
- Remediation status
Handling Detections​
For each detection:
- Review - Examine the finding details
- Verify - Confirm if true positive
- Remediate - Take corrective action
- Document - Record resolution
- Verify fix - Re-scan to confirm
Detection Categories​

Immediate threats requiring action:
- Active malware
- Known exploits
- Backdoored models
- Critical vulnerabilities
High​
Serious issues to address promptly:
- Suspicious code patterns
- High-risk dependencies
- Potential backdoors
- Significant vulnerabilities
Medium​
Notable findings for review:
- Outdated dependencies
- Moderate vulnerabilities
- Unusual patterns
- Policy violations
Low​

Scan Configuration​
Scan Types​
- Quick Scan - Fast, common threat patterns
- Full Scan - Comprehensive analysis
- Custom Scan - Specific targets and rules
Scan Scope​
Configure what to scan:
- Specific models
- Code repositories
- Dependency trees
- Running processes
- Container images
Scan Options​
- Signature-based detection
