Scheduled scanning is a systematic and automated process of regularly inspecting and evaluating computer systems or networks for potential threats, vulnerabilities, or issues. It allows organizations to proactively maintain their cybersecurity by setting specific intervals or times for comprehensive scans. This proactive approach helps identify and address security risks, malware, or software glitches before they can cause harm. Scheduled scanning ensures that all areas of a system are regularly checked, contributing to a more secure and efficient IT environment.
