Gain visibility on the devices that have access to your network

About the network discovery scan

Scan the network that you are connected to and view a list of all other devices that are visible and using the same network. This will allow you to identify if any unauthorised devices are connected and take action.

For your cybersecurity, it’s important that only trusted devices can access your network.

Navigate to the ‘Network Discovery Scan’ tab and click ‘Scan.’ The scan will now run on your network.

About scan results

If you see a device listed that you do not recognise, you will need to investigate as to how unrecognised devices gained access to your network and should consider changing your access passwords as soon as possible.

When complete, the scan will be listed under ‘Completed Network Discovery Scans.
Click ‘Review’ to see the results.

You can add devices to your trusted device list. Select the checkbox next to the device and click ‘Add to trusted devices.

The scan does not have the ability to exclude, block or remove these devices, you must do this separately.

If you recognise a device, you can add it to your trusted device list.

To do this, select the checkbox to the left of the device details and click ‘Add to trusted devices’. This will exclude it from future scans to save time next time you run it.
