Request a Scan

Request a Scan

Please note that although precautions are taken and the process is designed not to cause a service disruption or to take advantage of any identified vulnerabilities, there is a remote chance that security scanning could cause a service disruption. Please understand that by requesting a scan, you acknowledge and accept responsibility for any issues resulting from the scan (have us scan your dev environment first if you have one).

To request a vulnerability scan, please email information_security@tufts.edu with the header "Request a Nessus Scan". Include your full name, UTLN, and phone number in the body of the email as well as a short description of the scan you would like performed and the time you would like the scan performed. A description of the scan host and their IP address is also required.
