Get alerts when new threats and unexpected changes to your hosts are detected.
For the hosts you want to monitor, ensure new vulnerability data comes into your account regularly by setting up scheduled vulnerability scans (using the VM/VMDR app).
How often should I scan?How often should I scan?
Scan at the frequency at which you want to receive alerts. For example, you'll need to scan twice a week to receive alerts twice a week. For your most critical hosts, we recommend you configure scheduled scans to run continuously - as soon as one scan finishes, a new scan is launched.
Best Practice - start with your existing schedulesBest Practice - start with your existing schedules
It's best practice to start with the scheduled scans you already have. Set up continuous monitoring and analyze the alerts generated. You'll quickly identify which hosts and issues are the most critical. Then fine-tune your scan schedules to scan the most critical hosts more frequently.

Scan all hosts that you want to monitor and get alerted on. Alerts are generated from internal and perimeter scans - not discovery scans (maps). Note that alerts are not currently supported for IPv6 IP addresses.
