About First Scan

Faraday Cloud (Community/Professional/Corporate) includes First Scan feature. It is an integrated scanner with Faraday Agents designed and tuned to discover the most common vulnerabilities in the attack surface. Faraday starts mapping your assets from your company domain name and drilling down on each to discover vulnerabilities using a tailor-made scanning profile. Once the task finishes, it is automatically pushed into your Faraday Workspace. After this, a notification will be generated; this process will run using Faraday Agents in the background.
