vulnerabilities previously reported have been resolved.
Selecting Denial of Service adds tests that might bring down a server.

Scheduling scans for devices
Use this task to configure scans to be performed once or on a recurring basis.

impact on network traffic, scans are not run on multiple devices at the
same time.
