Get started with Continuous Monitoring

Scan at the frequency in which you want to receive alerts. For example, to receive alerts twice a week, you'll need to scan twice a week. To get alerts more often, you'll need to scan more often. 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.

 

It's best practice to start with the scheduled scans you already have in place. Set up continuous monitoring and analyze the alerts generated. You'll be able to quickly identify which hosts and issues are the most critical. Then fine tune your scan schedules so that you're scanning the most critical hosts more frequently.

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