VAPT Insights

Notification Channels

VAPT Insights allows you to configure real-time notification alerts to keep your development, DevOps, and security teams in sync. Alerts are managed project-wise and can be toggled or configured for specific triggers.

The platform supports Email Alerts, Slack Webhooks, and Discord Webhooks, with more channels coming soon.

You can choose which events trigger an email alert:

  • Scan Report: Dispatched as soon as a manual or automated pipeline scan finishes.
  • SBOM Report: Alerts detailing software components and direct dependency updates.
