# Quick start for the NetSPI Platform

Use the quick start information below to get up and running quickly on the NetSPI Platform if you are a customer moving
from Resolve to the new Platform and/or a customer who is brand new to both NetSPI and the NetSPI Platform.

## Setting up your NetSPI Platform account

See the instructions here to [setup your new account](/start/quick-start/set-up-your-netspi-platform-account/) if you
have never logged into the NetSPI Platform before.

## Accessing the new NetSPI Platform

1. In your web browser, navigate to: [https://platform.netspi.ai/](https://platform.beta.netspi.ai/)
2. From there you will be prompted for your credentials.

## Logging into the new NetSPI Platform

Logging into the NetSPI Platform is easy. Choose which option fits you, below:

* If you previously used Resolve, your credentials will be the same for the new NetSPI Platform. Enter your credentials
and you’re in.
* If you are brand new to NetSPI, never used Resolve, and have never logged into the NetSPI Platform before now, follow
these steps:

1. Open a web browser tab to: [https://platform.netspi.ai/](https://platform.beta.netspi.ai/)
2. You’ll be prompted to enter your name, email, phone number, and to create a password.
3. Next, you’ll be prompted to set up your preferred MFA (multi factor authentication) method of choice, scan the bar
code, and then enter the authenticator’s response into the NetSPI login page when prompted.

If you need detailed instructions on the initial login or MFA options, see the Set up your
[NetSPI Platform account page](set-up-your-netspi-platform-account.md) topic.

## Navigating the NetSPI Platform

You can think of the NetSPI Platform as a page divided into three sections:

![Quick start nav](/static/quick_start_nav.png)

1. A side menu where you can navigate between the different NetSPI modules (PTaaS, EASM, BAS, and CAASM).
2. A top menu with:
   1. Your organization’s data (dashboards, findings, attack paths, assets, etc.) on the top left, and,
   2. Organizational/administrative functions on the top right: global search, organization selector, scanning timing,
   documentation, exports, asynchronous job logs, notifications, settings, and user profile config (light/dark mode,
   etc.).
3. The largest part of each page displays the data for whichever selection you've made, from the side or top menu, or
details for whatever selection you make within page.

You can discover what most all menu items can do by selecting them to view drop-down menu options, or hovering over a
link to view hover text.

You can also consult our AI Docbot by selecting the Help icon at the bottom of the left navigation and ask
any question. Responses are pulled from the reference documentation and can provide a quick answer.

### Finding the NetSPI Platform documentation

The NetSPI Platform documentation is available at the following URL, and does not require authentication to access:
[https://platform.netspi.ai/docs/](https://platform.netspi.ai/docs/)

## Adding new users for your organization to the NetSPI Platform

the Administration section on [User Management](/settings/user-management/#user-management).
