Scheduling Scans For Devices; How Detections Are Reported - McAfee TSA00M005PAA - Total Protection Service Product Manual

Using the SaaS Vulnerability Scanning Service
How dectections are reported
• Retest Current — Runs the last test that ran previously. Use this to retest and verify
that vulnerabilities previously reported have been resolved.
NOTE: Selecting Denial of Service adds tests that might bring down a server. We
recommend selecting this option during times when users are not accessing network
resources.
7 Select a date and time for the scan, then click Confirm.

Scheduling scans for devices

Use this task to configure scans to be performed once or on a recurring basis.
NOTE: You cannot select specific times for scans to be performed. In general, scans run at
various random times on different devices. To minimize impact on network traffic, scans are
not run on multiple devices at the same time.

How detections are reported

recommendations applicable to your specific system configuration, historical audit data, and
