Provision Scanners

The provisioning feature within the Scanner Coverage page enables users to efficiently provision scanners for repositories that lack adequate coverage. By identifying repositories without sufficient security measures and facilitating quick scanner provisioning, this feature strengthens security posture management within the software supply chain.

Scanner Provisioning Workflow

The Scanner Coverage page provides a structured workflow for provisioning scanners to repositories. Users can navigate through repositories that lack adequate scanner coverage and initiate provisioning tasks directly within a centralized interface.

To provision a repository:

  1. Select an organization to get a list of all its repositories.

    Select Org

  2. Select a repository from the dropdown list.

    Select Repo

  3. Click on the Provisioning button at the top corner of the page

    Click Provisioning

  4. Select a provisioning method:

    • Easy Provisioning: Choose the desired security coverage, and BoostSecurity will automatically provision the best recommended scanners.

    • Advanced Provisioning: Manually select the scanners to provision based on specific requirements. BoostSecurity provides an extensive list of scanners from which users can select.

    Note

    If certain scanners cannot be enabled for a particular repo, the scanner is blurred out of the options and, therefore, unclickable. A note is displayed that informs the user why the scanner cannot be enabled.

  5. Clcik the Complete button to save the progress.

  6. The scanner is now provisioned for the repo.
