Click Start date and set date and time the scan is to start.
Set the frequency you'd like the test to run, and check the Enable Schedule box.
Once you're happy, click Add Group and you'll be taken back to the Vulnerability Scan overview.
Please note:Be sure to whitelist the domain of the scanner (va.scanner.defense.com) in your firewalls before conducting any scans. Or, if you are unable to add the domain, please use the IP address (74.220.28.142)If you want to run a scan straight away, click on your Group name, then Scan now.
Once your scan has been run, click on the view scans button to view your report.
And that's it! You've run your first Vulnerability scan, and you can also set up a Scan Schedule.
FAQs
Why doesn't your scanner identify as many threats as my previous provider?
