Enable or disable self-scanning

You can enable or disable self-scanning. When enabled, self-scanning can identify potential vulnerabilities within the scanner or verify the security posture of the scanner. This helps to make sure the scanner is not a weak point in the overall network security and that it is functioning as intended.

  2. In the navigation menu, click Data Collection > Scanners.
  3. In the table row of the scanner you want to enable or disable, click View Scanner.

    • To enable self-scanning, click the Enable Self Scanning toggle to the on position.
