Chapter 6
Defining Background Scans
Overview
Introduction This chapter describes the minimum requirements and the options available for defining
background scanning. Since ad hoc scans use some of the background policies, this
chapter also describes the impact of those shared policies on ad hoc scans. In addition,
checklists in this chapter guide you through the process of setting up background scans.
Scope This chapter describes all the asset policies except for the Discovery and Assessment
policies. For descriptions of those policies, see Chapter 7, "Configuring Discovery and
Assessment Policies" on page 97.
Prerequisite Before you modify policies, you must understand how to locate them in the SiteProtector
Console. For an introduction to viewing policies, see “Viewing Asset and Agent Policies”
on page 74.
