S4E offers different scan types for different needs, from fast checks to continuous security monitoring.

Light Scan

Light Scan runs essential checks without crawling the asset.

Use it for fast, low-impact health checks.

Covers:

• SSL and DNS controls

• Common misconfigurations

• Product-based network vulnerabilities

It is useful when you need a quick scan with limited depth.

Full Scan

Full Scan runs the most complete set of checks against an asset.

Use it when you need broader visibility across web, network, and configuration risks.

It includes Light Scan coverage plus additional checks such as:

• Web vulnerabilities (with crawling)

• Network vulnerabilities

• Product-based web vulnerabilities

• Exposed panels

• Information scans (tech detection, leaked data, etc.)

Continuous Scan

Continuous Scan runs automatically for assets with Advanced Security enabled.

Use it for ongoing monitoring of important assets.

It follows the scan categories and schedule configured for the asset.

Crawl-Only Scan

Crawl-Only Scan discovers URLs, endpoints, parameters, and key files without running vulnerability checks.

Use it when you want to map an asset before running deeper scans.

Single Scan

Single Scan is a manual, one-time scan for a specific target or tool.

Use it when you need to test something specific on demand.
