Configure, run, or schedule scans

To make sure you have an up to date asset overview, you should schedule frequent scans to look for new assets or changes to previously detected ones.

Note

By scanning assets, you understand that Bitdefender may use public Internet services (from the list that Bitdefender EASM service supports) to look for more publicly available information offered by those services related to these assets in order to understand the security posture of your company.

To do this, follow the steps below:

  1. Click on the Scan configuration button.

    The Scan configuration page is displayed.

    • On the following day - Select the day of the week the scan is to be performed.

    • Start time - Select the time when the scan is to be performed.

  3. Under the Scan list tab, manage the list of assets you want to be included in the next scan.
