What is Protegon?

Understand what Protegon helps you do and what it does not claim to be.

What it is for

Protegon helps you run authorized security scans on targets you control, review findings in a structured report, track changes over time, and manage usage under your plan.

When to use it

  • You are new to the product and want a clear picture before your first scan.
  • You need to explain the product to a teammate or client.

How to do it

  1. Step 1Know the core loop

    Verify a domain when required, start a scan from New scan, wait for completion, then open the report to prioritize findings and follow the action plan.

  2. Step 2Use review tools when you iterate

    After several scans, use History, Compare, and Proof of fix to see what changed and to verify remediations.

  3. Step 3Stay within authorization

    Only scan systems you own or are explicitly allowed to test. The rail reminder Authorized targets only applies to every scan.

Good to know

  • Protegon is not a compliance attestation, a certification, or a full penetration test.
  • Some advanced pages (Schedule, Compare, Proof of fix, Agency) depend on your environment’s scan engine. If a page says the feature is not available yet, see Feature not available.
  • Your plan and remaining quotas appear in the left rail and on Billing.

Common problems

  • I am not sure where to start.

    Create an account, open Domain to verify a hostname if needed, then run your first scan from New scan.
