Question
What is the frequency of scans, and when is the next scan scheduled to occur?
Answer
The scanning frequency varies depending on the issue type.
For example, issue types such as End-of-Life Product, End-of-Service Product, and Malformed SPF Record are scanned weekly. Other issue types like Malware Infection Trail, Active CVE Exploitation Attempted, Age exposed and few more vary in frequency.
To check the scan frequency of each issue type, you can refer to the white paper titled A Deep Dive in Scoring Methodology available at Resources Download Center
Furthermore, when the scanning frequency for certain issues is weekly, it may not align precisely with a seven-day interval. Given the complexities of routing and networks, pinpointing the exact conclusion of the current scan run is challenging. Nevertheless, it usually takes around a week before the same scan is repeated.
Note: If any issue finding is resolved within your network, we advise you to submit a remediation to accelerate the scoring process and observe the impact on your score.
