New modes for Domain Scan Targets
We have introduced two different modes for Domain Scan Targets. This information is shown on the Domain Scan Targets Details Page, under the Settings tab:
- Managed Mode (Recommended)
- Provides deeper insights and uncovers more complex issues.Offers higher accuracy in Scan Target results.Allows control over scan frequency.Ability to initiate scans at any time.
- Background Mode
- Provides a broad overview focusing on less resource-intensive checks.Scan Frequency options are disabled in this mode.
Currently, all existing Domain Scan Targets are set to Managed mode. While you can switch from Managed mode to Background mode at any time, we strongly recommend keeping them in Managed mode for the most comprehensive and accurate monitoring.
Newly created Domain Scan Targets are initially set to Background mode. To enable Managed mode, we must validate the domain to confirm that your organization has control over it. This validation process is essential to verify domain ownership and ensure accurate monitoring.
