To scan your cloud resources during the Credentialed Scan Background Task, configure API credentials associated with a cloud service account. By configuring Cloud Scanning, you will enable {{COMPANY_NAME}} to correlate user access privileges within cloud platform services to the resources (such as instances and VMs) provided by those services. Cloud scanning occurs automatically as a part of the Credentialed Scan Background Task whenever Cloud Scan credentials are present.
Within your cloud platform you will need to configure an API key that can be used by {{COMPANY_NAME}} to scan your cloud resources.
