# Scan Project Parameters

> Configure your scan settings: choose scanner types, enable fast scanning, and set vulnerability severity levels.

In CybeDefend, you can customize your scans by adjusting key parameters in **Project Settings** → **Scanning**. This guide covers the essential scan configuration options.

## Scanner Types

CybeDefend supports multiple security scanning methods. Enable the scanners that match your project needs:

### SAST (Static Application Security Testing)

Analyzes source code for security vulnerabilities before runtime.

### SCA (Software Composition Analysis)

Inspects open-source dependencies and libraries for known vulnerabilities.

### IaC (Infrastructure as Code)

Detects misconfigurations in infrastructure definitions (Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, etc.).

### Container

Scans container images for vulnerabilities in base images, packages, and configurations.

<Tip>
  We recommend **enabling all scanners** for comprehensive security coverage across your entire stack.

## Vulnerability Severity Levels

Select which **severity levels** to include in your scan results:

* **Critical**: Immediate security risks requiring urgent action
* **High**: Serious vulnerabilities that should be prioritized
* **Medium**: Moderate security issues to address
* **Low**: Minor vulnerabilities or potential improvements

Unchecked severity levels will not appear in your results, allowing you to focus on the most critical findings.

<Note>
  This setting filters scan results only—it does not impact scanning time or depth.

## Saving Your Configuration

After adjusting scan parameters:

1. **Save your settings** in the project configuration
2. **Trigger a new scan** manually or wait for automatic scanning
3. **Review results** in your project dashboard

<Tip>
  Balance **scan coverage** and **speed** based on your development stage. Use fast scanning for rapid iterations, and comprehensive scanning for releases.
