Vulnerability Scan Request Form

If you would like to request a vulnerability scan, please complete the web form below. ITS-SOS will help you identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and backdoors in software and operating systems on your machine(s). There is no charge for this service.

You must be a network contact to request a scan. Requests made by non-network staff members will be verified by appropriate contacts prior to scanning. Scan results will only be returned to network contacts but the information may be shared with system administrators of affected machines, and with management in their units as appropriate. (Repeated, unauthorized scan requests (e.g., abusive activity) may result in referral to the Office of Student Conduct or the Office of Human Resources).

If the IP address(es) you are having scanned host Web application(s), please also request a web application scan.
