Introduction

June has been an exciting month for Hexiosec ASM, we’ve introduced the ability to create new scans via the public API, as well as the launch of our Documentation site.

Create a scan via the public API

Before now, our public API was just a great way to get data for your scans on Hexiosec ASM in an efficient way. Now you can start new scans too.

The API endpoints are fully documented in our API documentation, but in summary there are three steps you need to take to create a new scan, similar to the UI journey you will already be familiar with:

  • Create the scan

  • Add the seed domain(s) & IP(s)

  • Start the scan

Creating A Scan With The API

You can also use these new endpoints to make updates to an existing scan, for example to add an additional seed to a scan, to rename it or move it to a different scan group.

Hexiosec Premium plan or above is required to access the public API.

Hexiosec Documentation site

The Hexiosec Documentation Site is now live! This is a growing area of user guides and support documents that allow you to understand different areas of Hexiosec in a little more detail. For example how to manage users and roles and more detail the different scan types.

This can be accessed at any time using the help menu.

Hexiosec Documentation Site

We are always adding to our Documentation site, so please get in touch if there’s an area of Hexiosec ASM that you would like to know more about and we will look to cover it. You can either use the Contact Us form within Hexiosec, or email [email protected].
