    You can change the type of your pentest before we move it to the Planned state. Select Edit on the pentest brief, and then select the Pentest Type.

    Next Steps

    Refer to the Getting Started guide to set up a pentest in four stages:

    1. Define your assets.
    2. Set pentest requirements.
    3. Add pentest details.
    4. Plan and scope the pentest.

    Once the pentest is complete, you can download a pentest report to explore security issues that our pentesters found.
