Manage Extend app security
Overview
AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) scans all the images of your running Extend apps to identify potential vulnerabilities, ensuring they remain secure against various threats. Scans are conducted immediately after an image is uploaded, followed by periodic scans every Sunday at 00:00 UTC for all images of running Extend apps. These scans generate security reports for each application, summarizing any vulnerabilities detected during scans, including their severity and recommendations or solutions. AGS categorizes vulnerabilities based on the level of severity: low, medium, high, and critical.
This feature aims to keep you updated of your Extend apps' security status, enabling you to make knowledgeable decisions about necessary updates or fixes and helping you prioritize actions that enhance your apps' security.
