Scanning agent

How the Snyk API and Web scanning agent works

The scanning agent is a lightweight component that you install in your network to enable scanning of internal targets. It creates a secure connection between Snyk API & Web and your internal infrastructure, so you can scan applications behind firewalls, VPNs, or in private networks:

• Install a scanning agent - Set up the agent in your environment

• Scan internal applications - Configure and scan internal targets
