All Takumi Assessments Now Require Credit Limits

Credit limits are now required for all Takumi assessments, including both blackbox and whitebox assessments.

This ensures you can control credit consumption in advance, regardless of assessment type or mode, preventing unexpected large-scale credit usage.

What Changed​

All blackbox and whitebox assessments now require credit limits for each phase (feature enumeration and scanning).

This prevents running large-scale assessments without credit limits and incurring unintended excessive credit consumption. If the actual consumption exceeds the specified credit limit, the excess credits will not be charged.

Incremental Assessment Approach​

With credit limits, all assessments support an incremental approach:

  • Start with a small credit limit to understand the assessment's scope and the types of vulnerabilities detected
  • Review the interim report to decide whether additional scanning is needed
  • Adjust credit limits and priorities as needed to run additional scans

This allows you to progressively expand the assessment scope while reviewing results, without consuming a large amount of credits at once.

Impact on Existing Assessments​

In-progress and completed assessments are not affected. This change applies to newly created assessments going forward.
