When performing scans, you must select a scanning profile. This profile defines the type of scan to perform, and how thorough the scan should be.
To view the vulnerability scan profiles
-
Go to Environment > Vulnerabilities > Overview and click Profiles.
The following table explains the three predefined profiles.
| Profile | Definition |
|---|---|
| Deep | Non-destructive, full and fast scan. |
| Default | To be used when scanned system fails when overwhelmed by too many scanning requests. |
| Ultimate |
Full and fast scan. Includes dangerous stress tests that have potential to induce host or system failure. |
You cannot modify or delete these three profiles. However, you can create new profiles and later modify or delete any profiles you created.
