Launch a Saved Autonomous Pentest

Summary

Learn how to launch a validated pentest and monitor its initial live status.

Prerequisites

• All test details and access instructions must be validated and ready.
• The test period must be scheduled.

Steps

1. Navigate to the Preparation step of your pentest configuration.
2. Click the Launch Pentest button in the bottom right corner.
3. Review the test details page to confirm the status changes to Live.
4. Check the Brief tab for any preliminary information while the AI agent builds its test plan in the background.

Expected Result

Your pentest will immediately go live if the scheduled test period includes the current date. You will see the status update to Live and background automated scans will begin.

Troubleshooting

Q: Why isn't my pentest showing a "Live" status? A: Ensure that your scheduled test period includes today's date. If the start date is in the future, the test will not go live until then.

Q: Why don't I see any results in the Brief view yet? A: It takes time for discovery agents and scanners to run in the background. Results will appear once the AI agent has finished building its test plan and executing initial scans.
