button can be used to modify the assessment profile. For more
information on assessment profiles, refer to the for Vulnerability
Assessment section in the Security chapter.
Once you enable a Vulnerability Assessment action rule for BSSs, a vulnerability assessment will only
start when AirDefensedetects a new alarm that was defined in the action rule. When the assessment is
complete (after about 5 minutes), no other assessments will run until 10 minutes passes after the last
vulnerability assessment was started. At that point, only another new alarm will trigger the Vulnerability
Assessment action rule. No other assessments will run until a new alarm is detected. Once a new alarm
is detected, the cycle repeats itself.
