5.5 Scheduled scans
A scheduled scan is a network audit that is scheduled to run automatically on a specific date/time
and at a specific frequency. Scheduled scans can be set to execute once or periodically. Scheduled
scan status is monitored using the Activity Monitor tab > Security Scans.
GFI recommends scheduled scans:
When GFI LanGuard Agents are not deployed on the target computers
To automatically perform periodical/regular network vulnerability scans using same scanning pro-
files and parameters
To automatically trigger scans after office hours and generate alerts and auto–distribution of scan
results via email
To automatically trigger auto–remediation options, (Example: Auto-download and deploy missing
updates).
The following sections contain information to guide you in configuring and executing scheduled scans:
