Introduction
This guide will provide assistance with scanning an individual or group of assets in Rapid7's InsightVM during the onboarding process for a new asset or assets. Ongoing maintenance of the asset inventory in InsightVM is a responsibility of the respective IT groups.
NOTE: For laptops, a scan will need to take place when setting up the asset/device prior to deploying it to the end user.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to vulnerability-scan@umd.edu.
Instructions

- Scroll down to the Current Scans section and select the blue Scan Now button.
- Enter information for the asset(s) being onboarded and verify all options as seen below:
