Rescanning an App scan

Last updated: June 5, 2025

Rescanning an App Scan in Mycroft ensures vulnerability data remains accurate and reflects the current state of your application environment. It captures recent changes in configurations, code, permissions, or integrations that could introduce new security risks.

Performing regular rescans helps teams identify emerging vulnerabilities, maintain audit-ready records, and ensure ongoing alignment with security and compliance requirements across the software lifecycle.

The system will begin rescanning the selected application. This process helps identify any changes or issues with the application that may have developed since the last scan.
